Helps track a friends deer with the same placement and wound channel last week. (And the deer went 400 yards and probably lived for 1 1/2 hours, good thing we waited) I wonder if the deer was in some position where the lungs push forward?

There isnt anything better you can do with shot placement. That is a big big big doe. Congrats on the doe. My last two shots have been a little back as in 4-6 ribs in from the back of the rib cage and both got double lung and were short track jobs. Which I was very surprised in both cases looking at entry and exit wounds. Those big deer sometimes do not give up the ghost as quickly as the smaller ones.

Same thing that happened to me with my buck last year. I smoked him at 10 yards. I had no doubt he'd be dead on the hillside behind me. I chugged a beer to celebrate real quick and went to gather him..... or not. I was floored. I got backed out and decided to come back the next day. Fortunately, I had parked at a back entrance to the land I was hunting so I got in my truck and went driving to the landowner's house to explain that apparently I didn't hit him as well as I thought. Fortunately on my drive back i saw the white belly in a ditch across the street from the hill I thought he should have been dead on. Ended up going 200 yards across a road and a creek.
So where exactly had you hit him?
Is there anything better than being in the woods?!
