Then things really started to look bad..
A drop here and a drop there..

We ended up tracking that doe for a solid hour.
I'm thankful it decided to run through some very thick growth.
It was a real bear to walk through...but at least there was vegetation   that would wipe off some blood.

Just as we'd go 30-40 yds following not much more than a drop here and there..we'd get a reassuring splash.

Relief at last!
My first Trad deer was on the ground!
YYYEEEEE  HHHAAAWWW!

As it ends up, Between my shooting a bit high and her ducking a bit..the arrow didn't hit lung at all.

This was a pure liver kill.
Somehow missed the stomach stuff.
The VPA head slid through the ribs nicely.
Just chipping/carving off a bit off one on the way in and cutting quite a slot in one on the way out.

I'm thankful for the nice sized hole to let the most blood out possible from this marginal shot.
I'm not stretching the skin here.
just laying my hand there for scale.
