I think you are mistaken about your point of impact on your shot myself.

You state that the doe was 'almost broadside' and you 'put it through the boiler room'.

BUT, then you say there was only 8" of arrow sticking out as she ran off????? Just how big was this doe??????

I'm thinking, quartering-away, high gut shot. Very little chance of a bloodtrail with ANY broadhead.

Great broadheads don't make up for bad shots!

Sorry you didn't find her!
