Although sometimes fatal, depending on the angle of the arrow when it strikes, a high entrance wound, combined with no exit wound spells trouble.
Notice how little blood is on this deer's hide. That is because it bled through the wound very little.
Often, even with a low exit wound, you get little blood because the internal organs may seal the exit hole. In the case of this deer, there was almost no blood trail. However, the internal organs were a complete mess. Both heart and lungs were cut, liver was slashed and the broadhead was lodged in the offside hide.
It took me some time and patience, following these small drops every 10-yards or so to unravel the winding trail.
