I think i hit him higher than I originally thought. Bleeding out both sides. Ran 75 yards and stopped. Then took off. Tracked him 300 yards this morning with only little drops. I think he is going to be ok.
I read the words PA Bandit wrote. I'd have to agree with him. Even a non-vital shot can kill a deer. There are arteries and such you may have hit. If he was bleeding out both sides AND you hit shoulder. . . one would certainly think you at least caught "some" vitals. If not, there is a ton of vascular running from the heart. That said: I wasn't there. I don't know where you hit. YOU are the one who saw it. I'm not trying to tell you what happened or what to do. Just offering some encouragement. You "may" still put your tag on that deer. Good luck Sir!
