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?

Good luck. I’ve seen that same exact reaction , and found the deer bedded dead, within 100 yards from last sighting. Problem was the blood clotted when he bed and got back up, made it difficult to find. Did a grid search in the pine cutover and laid eyes on him. I’m confident you’ll find the buck. Good luck can’t wait to see pics.

Yeah, his brand new Prime compound. Very elevated and quartering slightly. No arrow found is another issue, but plenty of blood seen on the opposite side. Shooting fixed heads (Montec G3).
Swamp, we talked about taking the thermal off, but they have fields you could hide a tractor in. We tried that last year in Kayla’s deer and it was useless. He looked at the shot sight for his arrow and blood everywhere. He went about 20yds looking for the arrow and blood everywhere. According to him, blood out both sides.

From the details mentioned, sounds like a dead deer! Killed one In Illinois last year never found my arrow. Quartering to me. Carrying that shaft inside him sure ate his vitals up - so not always a bad thing.

I'd say you and the boy are right. My brother had a tree on public land he killed bucks in back to back years that both acted identical to what you described. We couldn't figure out the deal until we really paid attention when we were dragging the second buck out. The shots were only 12 yards and found at the shot opening the trail the deer took had a kink in it that quartered the deer just enough to result in the single lung/liver hit. Even looking at the entrance and exit on both deer you would've sworn it was a double lung. Gutting both deer showed otherwise.
