I had a similar experience.....just opposite. Doe dropped and spun so quick I had similar except arrow in the back and out the front......high velocity blood spray and quick expiration.....my arrow hit the inside of the scapula and because of the steep angle between the bone and broadhead it skipped and redirected out the neck at an upward angle exiting up by her head.....the arrow traveled inside the deer roughly 3/4 the length of the whole body and total pass through and stuck in the mud....We are on the same page, brutha
I killed a doe a few years back that had blown my cover multiple times previously. Once she realized I was there she stopped in a severe quartering to arrangement and in some decent cover. I was NOT going to let her escape so I had already made up my mind to shoot her where she stood. I opted for the shot just inside of her front right shoulder and exiting behind her left.....
Heavy arrow with a heavy 2 blade cut on contact head. She didn’t stand a chance and died under 40 yards away from massive carnage. I’ll take that every day.
The only other deer I hit with an arrow was with a twizzler and expandable.....that was the very first time I ever shot an arrow at a deer so I was a little excited....I watched the arrow hit a little high and back but still IMO a good hit in the vitals....I got maybe 6" penetration and she run off. I found the arrow with a slightly bent ferrule and 1 blade mangled up.....I never found the deer. I image the 1 blade hit a rib and just dumped all the energy. The little blood I did find had some bubbles so I guess 1 lunged....
