Default Shot a doe, what vital did i hit?
I shot a doe this afternoon, 20 yards, broadside, perfect. Unfortunatly doe fever set in and i shot too early, hitting the doe right in front of the shoulder, and tad bit high. It dropped almost instantly flipping around thru the brush and then just layed there. I got down after a while and noticed the doe lating still with its head up, looking around. I stuck another arrow in from behind under the ribs and put it out for good. Anyways, what did my first shot hit, it looked too low.foreward to hit the spine. anyone have the link to the site that shows deer vitals? Ill post a link to a pic of my doe in a second.

The spine comes out fairly low in front of a deers shoulder, that is what you hit.

You might have split her wind pipe, that will normally make them
flip around like that.

Here' s a site with overlay that should give you a good idea of where you hit.
