Question

Okay so I shot a deer yesterday 20 yards broadside. When I shot she ducked a little but not much. The shot looked good to me but when I got to the arrow it had some fat and very little blood and hair on it. Never could find a blood trail but found hair in spider webs and walked in the direction she ran and about 150 yards from were I shot I found two specks of blood. My question is were did I hit this deer and was it even fatal.

Almost sounds like a brisket shot from the arrow description. If it is they are rarely fatal. But your description of the shot doesnt sound like a brisket shot.

Sounds like u shot thru the back straps. I have done that before and have only fat and barely any blood on the arrow

If the blood was watery then you probably hit just under the spine but you wouldn't have found fat on the arrow. With the fat, I'm guessing you hit low along the belly line. Neither is a fatal shot.
