With you being above him and your shot angled downward you very likely took out the front of the lung and possibly the trachea as well. Whenyou go back out to look for him, pay attention up high as well. Not all the blood makes it to the ground, especially when you get one lung. I just shot a buck last week in very nearly the same place and though I only thought I got about 10"-12" penetration, it was enough to lodge the broadhead in the off shoulder. I'd say he's dead somewhere.


Good luck!

Lots of times we see 1/3 of the arrow sticking out....and don't think about it backing out when it hits something on the off-side. WORST case scenario is.....10" of penetration is WAY more than enough to kill the deer. Going on the person who shot the deer's diagram.....I'd say he's got a dead deer.
