Default RE: Blood trail just stopped

I' m sorry to hear that someone else has the same luck i do. I had the same thing happen a couple of weeks ago. I shot a doe at 8 yards and watched her run 25 yards and lay down.I gave her half an hour and then got down to get her and while walking up on her she run off.After giving her a coule more hours i went back and there was a large area of blood where she had been laying and a good trail for 75 yards or so. I' ve always heard that if you have a good blood trail and it just stops that your deer won' t be far but that wasn' t the case. This would have been my first bow kill.

I' ve had that happen to me a couple of times. A shot that I though was broadside was actually slighty quartering away. I made the seemingly textbook shot behind the shoulder. The problem was I sank my broadhead into the other shoulder blade. That means no exit wound & no extreme blood trail. I' ve learned to hold about 3-4 inches further behind the shoulder than ussual & I' ve not lost one since.

Same thing happened to me last weekend on a doe at 19 yards. She was slightly quartering away. Had a complete passthrough but just hit a little high. We found awesome blood for 200 yards or so then a big puddle and nothing after that. We grid searcher checked the places other deer we' ve shot have gone. Checked the pond that was nearby all to no evail. I don' t have any idea what happened. The only explanation we can come up with is that I missed the lungs and barely went under the spine. Is that possible to find a little gap between them?
