Ive been bowhunting for 40 years but have never seen this. Last weekend I shot a doe at about 40 yards with a Rage knockoff broadhead. I thought she was broadside facing left but may have been quartering away some. I use a lighted nock. After the shot she immediately jumped a small creek and headed out into a grown over clearcut. As she jumped the creek I saw the arrow mostly sticking out as if it didnt go in far and further back than I wanted and immediately thought Im not going to find this deer. I watched her run up into the clear cut, turn a broad circle downhill and collapse dead within about 15 seconds of the shot. Couldn't believe it based on how the shot looked. Good thing I saw her fall cause no exit wound and not a drop of blood. The entrance wound was as I thought way back on her left side. Never found my arrow which must have pulled out in the clearcut somewhere. I just skin and debone without gutting but found after skinning that broadhead had made it all the way up to right side under shoulder blade not breaking through skin, thus explaining quick death. I just don't understand how the broadhead made it that far into her when I saw it hanging out unless somehow a deers reaction can make a rage 2_blade back out of the body immediately after shot?? Any thoughts out there?

Probably backed out. The second doe I killed this year was about 20 yards slightly quartered to me when I released the arrow. Heard a loud whack and she ran back the way she came. I could see most of my arrow sticking out when she turned and I thought I hit her shoulder blade. She was pouring blood but made it 200 yards up and over an old dike and was laying dead at the edge of a lake. I center punched the front of her neck. She evidently turned into the arrow when I shot. It destroyed that Rage Trypan and broke my Gold Tip Pierce arrow. Donโ€™t see how it didnโ€™t drop her in her tracks.

Shot a quartering away doe at 35 yards once. She dropped and was turning away when the arrow got there. It went over her body, caught her right between the ears in the back of her head and exited through her left nostril. She was DRT without even a quiver.

Back in the buck a day years, I hunted public land a lot. Horns and a bow would result in a released arrow. Sitting in the tree, a spike came eating swamp oak acorns. He caught movement as I drew the bow and turned to face me looking up. I thought I could shoot him in the brisket and penetrate the heart. As I released the arrow, he ducked his head. Hit him right between the eyes. Made a huge thud as if you hit a dead tree with a sledgehammer. Dropped in his tracks. Had to unscrew the broadhead cause the arrow kept catching on stuff.

Many years ago I took the same shot from about 8 ft up a huge oak tree that was on a fence line. A herd of deer came to jump the old fence and the lead doe spotted me of course. My arrow went in by her right nostril and the broad head exited behind the right ear. We tacked her further than I have any other deer and she was giving very little blood but she was either dragging a leg or rubbing the arrow very often through the huge pine thicket..

You must be very close with your dead deer to recognize cock hair, lol/
Funny how so many holes and no blood. Same here happens with elk alot

You could have said, "I shot it with a rage" and stop right there.
Then we would all know that you had no exit wound and no blood trail. It's not complicated.

I was shooting an eliminator pendulum sight, 2115 aluminum arrows and Simmons Land Sharks. I had my sight working out to 30 yards. A spike cane walking by and by the time that I could get my bow, get drawn and get on him, he was at 30 yards. I aimed at the back of his head and released, assuming he would take another step before the arrow got there and Iโ€™d be
Shooting him in the spine, between the shoulders. At the shot he stopped. Arrow entered between the ears at the back of the head and exited out the right cheek. He flopped like a fish on dry land.
