Just got to his house. He hit it behind the shoulder, possibly a tad high but he saw nothing but blood on the opposite side right under the shoulder. The deer walked 75yds and bedded. 10 minutes later it made it to its feet and started walking. He saw it hit a feed trail and then lost sight. He’s confident in his shot, but doesn’t understand the deers reactions. Only thing we can come up with is he was quartering a little more than he thought and he got liver and one lung. We’re gonna give it until 10pm and head out to look. What’s really crazy is the buck he shot 2 years ago did almost the exact same thing. He shot, filmed it walking off behind a bush, and never saw it leave. He climbed down thinking it was dead and trailed it to the bush he saw it go behind and it jumped up. We waited a couple hours then too and found it less than 100yds away with rigor set in. I’m confident we’ll find it. If not there’s drones and dogs, lol. He’s thinking he’s in the mid 160’s. We’ll see… I’m betting that deer is dead right now, but best to err on the side of caution.

I'd unclip that thermal scope and use that to scan ahead on the blood trail.
Good luck. Send us pics!

Was he in a treestand? Elevated? Quartering to or away? Did the arrow get full penetration?
