where did i hit this doe @?
i had a blade broke off my broadhead.... a few deer hairs.... and a few spots of peachish colored blood.... there was no blood on the ground that i saw...and no big clumps of hair.... i hit this deer..... shot was 42 yards and when she ran off it was just a jog i thought i smoked her....i wait 3 hours and found a few drops of peachy blood and like 6 strains of white hair....on my arrow.....
any help would be nice

sounds like a gut shot....what broad head were you using?...what are the temps there?
rule of thumb, ya dont leave one spot of blood til ya see the next one..dont let someone, or yourself, walk ahead and mess up all the sign..look fer fresh tracks to help guide you..usually the path of least resistance is the way to go, but dont go forward til ya see the next drop. if you looked fer 20 minutes and cant find blood..spiral out in 8 inch circles round and round til ya spot the next blood sign ..gl

White hair would mean to me it was hit low. possibly the sternum, where the ribs meet.
peach means there is other fluid mixed with the blood. your best bet is to give some time then go looking hours later. you may not have killed her but wounded

Unless your a very experienced hunter with a bow maybe you should stick to the 20 yard range. Sounds like 40 yards is out of your range. Instead of asking us where you hit her, you should be able to tell us where you hit her. If you are not SURE don't take the shot! I know you guys come here for help and sometimes the best help is to have someone tell you to pay attention to what your doing. This is a classic case of not knowing your limits. Out of range + not knowing your limits = Bad Shot! There is no excuse for this kind of irresponsibility.

Wow! I think he was asking advice not to get judge by someone that is retired and bored out of his mind. You don't judge people at the bingo hall do you? Im sure he feels bad for making a not so good shot but its all part of the learning process. Make a mistake learn from it.
