pse arhcer Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Last week I shot a doe...looked like I made a decent shot, maybe a tad low. After the shot the doe just trotted a few steps, and then started walking normal. Watched her for as long as I could see her. Waited a while, then checked my arrow. All I saw on the arrow was fat, and hair. There was white hair on the ground. Figuring a bad hit, I decided to come back in the a.m. The next morning, I started looking, and found the best blood from any deer I have ever hit. I recovered the doe about 40 yds. from where I last saw her (total of <100yds). I ended up taking out one lung. My question is...why was there no blood on the arrow?

PotashRLS Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 With all the tallow on that part of a deer's chest, it may have wiped your arrow clean as it exitted, thus the fat and white hair. They are especially fat this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilhnter Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 I did the same thing with the big 8 I killed. I hit him very low, (just barely clipped the bottom of his heart) and he only ran about 40 yds and fell, but there was no blood what so ever on my arrow. It was all fat. I didn't see or hear him fall, so when I looked at my arrow I was dissappointed and thought I just grazed the bottom of him, but then I could see blood on the ground where he ran off.

m gardner Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 If you used a two blade head sometimes it closes up pretty quickly. Three blades or more usually bleed pretty good.Here's a low chest hit with a G-5 Montech. The lung is hanging out of the hole if you look carefully. Lots of blood.Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 My guess is, it was quartering to you a little and you hit the back of one lung and went through the diaphragm and liver. Once she filled up with blood to the entry hole, it started pouring out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeramie Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Yep. Right there's your answer. I agree.. That is probably what happened. The angle of the shot would tell the true tale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.ALLEN.IA Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I thought I had a decent shot on a bigger buck, but only found white hair and fat on the arrow. No real trace of blood on the arrow or ground. Walked timber a little ways and didn't notice anything. At least you were able to find your deer!
