[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5449901, member: 20583"] Hard to say. Every shot is different. Every deer is different. One of the few deer I lost was a doe that I'd shot from the ground. I thought for sure my shot was good but the arrow showed no blood, just some clear liquid like you describe. It was a dry cut bean field, so it wasn't water from weeds. I never did find a blood trail and never did see buzzards circling in days that followed. Caught her on camera in same spot and sure enough my shot was on point, but no blood and it didn't kill her. I was using a Rage. It was a complete pass. She has the scar on both sides. That was several years ago and this year is the first I've not seen her, so I think she finally died probably last winter or somebody else shot her last season. I never shot at her again. Figured she deserved a pass. That 2" Rage scar says it all. It opened and made a cut. It just didn't kill her. Weird stuff happens sometimes is all I can say. Given the same shot opportunity I'd shoot exactly the same and would expect a dead deer at the end of a 60yd track. I've got zero guesses. [/QUOTE]
