Alright I shot a good buck tonight at 35 yards. Shot was defently low and just a little, but not far, back. Right at impact I could see good blood and what looked part of an organ hanging out. Instantly as soon as I saw that I thought hit him in the liver or maybe guts. He runs off behind some trees and I lost sight of him. 3 or so minutes later I see him get up (15 yards from where i shot him only his head and antlers) and run off. I wait a half hour get down look for my arrow, can't find it check but there's good blood all over. I went to where he had laid down and there's a good pool of blood 15x15 inches. Blood was pink and bubbly so I figure lung. It was only 4:30 pm so I figured I'd wait for my buddy to get done hunting before we go look. We come back around 8, and the blood is light for 50 yards then picks up a little but not much. Then find a spot where it looked like he coughed up two big piles of blood, then a bed with a bunch of blood. We decided to pull out and wait until morning. Now I'm feeling good about it so I go look for my arrow because I'm confident I had a pass through since I heard it hit some brush after I shot. When I find it 2 vains have blood on them and the other is clean as a whistle. Now I'm freaked out because my arrow looks like i grazed him, yet the bloods telling me hes hit fairly decent. The only thing keeping me sane right now are the big piles of blood. Does anybody have any sort of idea what might have happened? Also the arrow was planted a few inches in the ground.
