I hit this one high from a steep down angle in a tree stand, that’s the exit wound you see from this trail cam pic from 2 weeks later. My dad shot him in rifle season and he didn’t even have scarring in the muscle tissue from the archery wound.

Shot one a few weeks ago in the same spot. Found the arrow with muscle tissue and not much blood. Followed bright spotty blood for about 70 yards before I lost it. Came back with dogs and searched another 2 hours a d found nothing. Pretty sure he survived, just waiting for him to show up on camera.

Sorry about your buck. I think most all of us know the feeling. You mind if I ask what your set-up is? I've made the same bad shot before. High shoulder is just scapula and not that thick. Little penetration. Same as you. I switched to heavy arrow and fixed blades.
What is your arrow weight and how many lbs you shoot? Which broadhead

I’ve made high shots with pass through and the deer are fine, but I’ve never seen a deer again that had arrow break and remain in him.

I went full fixed blade after that
