Scratching my head about the shot on my doe.

[BigThicketBoy]

Ok I'm about 30 ft up and the she was 32,33 yard out hard quartering away.
How in the world is the exit hole HIGHER than the entrance?
Could she dropped that much, seems like if she did she would have to done it when the arrow first hit her? ???

Some how got diverted on the pass through or she fell back and to the right when she heard your release.

Weird stuff happens.....you sure she wasn't turned around?

Rib deflection
Rolling away from the shot combined with squatting to bolt
Aleins

Maybe hit a shoulder bone and diverted up?

[muzzlebrake]

She rolled away from the sound of the arrow whistling thru the air. I had one do this before. Even had one do a 180 and get hit on the opposite side I shot at from 18yds and got spined. One of them lucky days for me.

[M.E.B.]

If they drop a lot your exit can be higher than the entrance. I also believe that they sometimes twist when the arrow is still in them and the arrow wound channel can actually be affected.

I have seen arrows do crazy things after hitting an animal. Probably deflected off a rib.

Just from past experience when filming my hunts.....an animal may already begun to duck when the arrow is on the way. Their body will contort downwards and this will affect the exit hole. I shot a buck years ago at 17 yards. It was broadside. The entrance hole was right behind the shoulder and the exit hole was about 13 inches back from the opposite side. I was using a Rage broadheads so I have no idea if the blades played a part. Also, I hit a black buck low several years ago and the exit hole was beautiful on the other side....right square through the middle of the shoulder. The way he moved away from the shot affected the exit hole. Congrats by the way on the doe.

I know when I touch the trigger she was facing away from me. If she turned 180 degrees she did it in a split second.
I have a go pro I wish I would have had it attached to the bow.

Duck and roll. When they duck, their opposite side can often be nearly parallel with the ground for a split second

[Deer Tracks]

They duck and roll.

[125Dad]

A little bit of duck and a little bit of rib deflection

Was she wearing yoga pants when you shot her?

[critter69]

Weird stuff does happen. My son shot a javelina broad side. Entered on the left shoulder and exited almost out of its bung hole. It must be they are (animal)moving so quick while that arrow is traveling thru them.
