I made a bad shot!

This eight was quartering away at 20 yards and I was so sure this arrow placement would hit vitals. I was wrong! When I recovered the arrow it didn't have any blood or the smell of guts, I feel like crap over the hole thing.

If the blue dot is your arrow you should have blood an you should get liver..

[Randell]

By the looks of it the arrow was heading for the opposite shoulder. If that is the case doesn't look to bad actually, just my two cents.

That's what I was thinking, I thought maybe it would at least have some dark red blood on it. Sadly that's not the case, maybe I hit a void? I dunno.

We've all been there!

I thought the exact same thing. I've replayed the shot over and over and still think I have should of hit something. I don't know what's going on.

Clean arrow is a missed, wich I much rather see on my arrow. It happens to most of us Bow hunters, don't beat your self up on it. You'll get the next go round, pick a hair & aim small. Good luck!!!!

You had to have hit something with that shot placement.
Only void I can think of is in between the vitals and spine up high behind the shoulder

[TexMax]

Certainly possible. Back of lungs and below the liver. Bummer!

I hit a big eleven point right there one evening several years ago. Very little blood. Jumped the deer an hour later and never saw him again.

[lovemylegacy]

Liver, lung, diaphragrm. That deer should be dead.

[whiplash]

Looks fine to me if he was quartering away. Should be BBD

[keep]

If he was quartering away that deer should be dead. BTW, there is no "void"

[tkuehn5410]

Looks like a dead deer to me...
