There are a lot of factors involved as to if the deer will live or die...The chances of you finding this deer after this hit is about zero, but there is a good chance that over a few days this deer could die, but that all depends on way to many things to say...Weather, food supply, infection, size and strength and most likely a few more that I cant think of at this time...

it looks like you would lay that deer right open, it would probably die.

 

[Terry G]

depends on the deer

if the deer spooked when shot, it will naturally crouch to jump. That motion would cause your "miss" to be a hit, the result would be as Uncle Ted would say Backstraps. If the deer didn't flinch, then depending on the broadhead either make a nasty cut that bleeds and the deer lives or nick the heart and backstraps. Thats from flat and level, if you were elevated then the no flinch would be a dead dear not dependent on broadhead. Of course this is just a guess. But it is fun to suppose.

there are no major vessels or organs that low in the chest, you might find a little bit of blood at first but it would be very spotty and would stop once the wound clots up. You wouldn't find that deer, but it COULD possibly die if it gets badly infected, but it would take days to weeks before it dies. then again, alot of strange things happen in the woods...ya never know

You would find very little blood and that deer would probably be just fine.

 

[Bweger]

You will probably find a lot of hair a few drops of blood but not a deer. That shot is going to cut him but not kill him.

 

[RAZOR62]

Flesh wound. Not likely to be fatal unless your using broadheads with 3" cutting diameter. lol

 

[elkkat]

Pretty good chance you find a tuft of hair and nothing else. Depends on whether the BH goes under, or over the breastbone.

I would move my sight pin down , or use a lower pin. :darkbeer:

 

[TailChaser]

Wouldn't kill him. No doubt about it.

 

[cmherrmann]

Well that all depends if you were shooting a noisy bow and the deer jumped the string and dropped 4 " it would be a good shot. If the deer was a statue and never moved all you would have is hair sandwich.

 

[skipper26]

you might kill him.......but it'll be next time you shoot him. that one will live .

I cam tell you exactly what would happen because i have done it and it aint pretty.You slice the skin and half the guts fall out.The deer ran in to milo field,running around trying to jump to see to get out,the guts keep it from jumping.I am try to get close for a killing shot but cant catch up.When i saw the milo stop moving i marked it good and backed out.Found it the next morning but the coyotes got to it first. Enough to make you sick.
