Guys need some advice. I hit a doe at 20 yards at the arrow looks like it has light blood and meat on it. I found small chunks of meat on the ground at the hit site also. Could I have hit her too high?

Huh, I thought I was the only one that closed their eyes when I shot at a deer........LOL, just kidding.

What was the angle of the shot?  How'd she react?  Did you hear her crash?  How log ago did you shoot?  

[BfloHunter]

Any blood trail? 

No just small traces of meat

Slight quartering away but close to broadside. Didn’t hear the crash and about 45 mins ago

Nothing for me in the morning. Saw two fawns on the way out this evening. Looks like rain for the next three days. Depending on rain I’m heading to the park tomorrow. I had enough of this treestand hunting.

i hate to say this, and it's not a given... but that usually means high or brisket, usually the later in my experience

Prob not a lung or heart hit then.  Could be high or low and hit brisket.  Doesn't mean deer isn't dead though.  Did you think it was a pass thru or not? 

[Lawdwaz]

How far have you gone along the trail?

[SportsmanNH]

call the dog trackers in

Any chance she dies from that? I can’t find blood anywhere

Yep it was a full pass through because the fletching has blood

I hit a buck high one time and no blood anywhere. Went back the next day and found a little blood 90 yards away in the woods. Spent 5 hours looking and found it in a crick wash.  It might be a fatal shot but if no blood trail prob need to walk out and try in the morn.  Sucks but prob the best idea.  We have rain coming in here if you do too that complicates ot more.  But look tomorrow up trails in the direction it went and grid search the area.  And If no blood maybe you can get on it's footprint trail some to.

That's a better sign. If blood like that continues you def got her. High hit might have taken a bit to drip down. Good luck let us know.

They look like drips, not spray. 

Regardless, GO FOR IT!!

@BfloHunter

I don't see any bubbles, how far was that spot blood from the initial arrow hit?  

[Five Seasons]

still leaning towards brisket, which generally means she will be fine.

This evening I went out with my 7 year old for some early muzzleloader action up in 6K.  We got to our spot in a hedge row looking into a small hay lot, and there was already a deer feeding.  We watched it for about 10 minutes and I asked my son if he wanted to wait for more deer, or shoot this one(we thought it was a  doe).  He said to shoot this one and was very excited about it.  I lined up the shot and told my son to cover his ears.  I shot abs after the smoke cleared the deer made its way to the wood line.  My son was anxiously wanting to get over there to “get the deer”.  We waited about 10 more minutes then walked over.  My son found the deer laying just inside the wood line, turns out it was a button buck.  I would have normally passed a button, but my son is super excited about this experience, and that’s what counts!  Enjoy!

If I had to guess you hit her in the back straps but I’d keep looking
