Kbetts,Mystic and Two track nailed it. Especially Kbetts. Liver, Artery and broke diapharm cavity. Liver blood really is thick and rich. Not as rich as muscle but heavy.....
Aim down your arrow because thats where it's going.

I'll attempt to post my pic tonight.  With the deer stretched out on the ground, it looks like I couldn't have gotten any more dead center.  This was only my second trad deer although I've killed plenty with a compound.  Cut to the tip  broadheads change "marginal" hits into a bloodbath.

I am thinking double lung and not heart; maybe the liver too; as the arrow shows some dark blood.
Also the angle of the arrow compared to the tracks indicates it was not a total complete broadside but ~slightly~ quartering on- which meant the arrow passed through both lungs; then hit the liver on the other side on the way out.

Personally I have found that deer hit in the heart run like crazy as far as they can. I shot a doe and hit both lungs and the top of the heart; and it ran about 200 yards- and I speculate if I had just hit the lungs; it would have dropped in about 60 yards like most of the double lung shots I have made in the past.....
THE VOICES HAVEN'T BOTHERED ME SINCE I STARTED POKING THEM WITH A Q-TIP.

Kidney shots put them down QUICK, but there is usually fat on the arrow as well...unless its early in the season. I say kidneys.

my guess was an arrow to the liver/lungs either going forward or rear ..... for some reason, a liver hit is extremely damaging to a whitetail and they simply cannot go far when their livers are sliced

joebuck

I cleaned up my arrow and it's ready to roll again. The white background on the shaft really showed up the liver blood and was even visable from the stand but i was only 15 feet away so of coarse i saw the impact of hit. But painting total arrow white shows alot more "blood sign " than just a white cap. IMO.........Plus it hardly snows in mississippi and if it does, i'm duck hunting
Aim down your arrow because thats where it's going.

I was going to say liver because A) dark blood, no bubbles. B) I hit a buck like that and it flipped over in 10 yards.

Congrats.
