How sharp were your broadheads?
What was the entry/exit of the arrow?
Was there an exit?
Are you color blind?
Did you look above the ground?
There’s a lot of things that can lead to a dead deer but a poor blood trail.
That deer got pummeled by a very sharp arrow. I knew the hit was good and heard the deer crash. No blood where she was standing or anywhere in the field she ran through to get to the thicket.
This is a zoomed in and edited screenshot from the first pic. I found the arrow about 20-25 yards from the shot. Then I knew where she had entered the thicket so I backtracked looking for blood and found none. Looked ahead and saw the blood circled in blue high on the saplings.
As soon as I saw that I knew this wasn’t going to be a good blood trail, but I had heard her crash and knew where she was, a dry drainage, so I wasn’t concerned.
I did find a few spots that looked like this or less
Walked ahead to the drain since it was getting dark and there she was.
Entrance….
Exit…..
Because of the setup I was only about 6.5’ at the platform. Shot was basically level. There wasn’t a piece of either lung left that had any size to it. She was indeed hammered, but if it had been somewhere flat or homogenous like planted pines finding her would’ve been an absolute bear. She only went 80-100 yards from the shot.
ETA: my arrow exited up to the fletching. I saw it flopping when I re-watched the video.
