Shot a deer at 55 and heard a very loud “thwack” really good blood after the shot but no bubbles. Brighter red blood on both sides of the trail she went in on, didn’t walk in the woods and backed out.
Just shot a deer need help

Thanks for all the time you wasted on here with this thread.
Are you shooting a mechanical broadhead? I find that some heads, especially over the top heads like a a Spitfire makes one heck of a "Twack" when the blades fold back to their deploy position. If using a fixed head you don't get that loud noise and if you get a "Twack" normally means you hit heavy bone.
Glad you found your deer, good job.

did you have a lighted knock? If not I understand how you may not have seen where the arrow impact.
i shot a buck this year at 48 yards, he was standing on a slight downhill and broadside in the timber. i had a clear shot my moveable sight was set on 45 i aimed a little high knowing the arrow would drop 3 maybe 4 inches. and got him, he went maybe 20 yards and i saw him fall over. i usually practice at 40, 50 and 60 yards often and felt ok about taking the shot. but looking back it was a longer shot then what i would have liked, but im also hunting public land and you dont have a lot of chances of taking a buck.only you know what your limit is.
Sounds like liver hit to me maybe liver lung hit
Its great you found it. Congrats

What you can potentially learn from this thread.....
1. Read through the entire thread before responding, as the OP recovered the deer before some folks posted their opinions
2. Don't suggest that 55 yards is too long of a shot on a deer (even though it is most of the time for the vast majority of people), because you will be deemed an "expert" with a tone of derision
3. Since the deer was recovered, the newbie OP posted a photo and a couple more times (but most of the time they never come back to eat some crow if it wasn't). This in response to another current thread concerning folks joining to get advice on a shot....true or not true?
4. If you expect the same results on a 55 yard shot, you too will likely be posting a "can't find my deer" or "what happened?" thread on AT
