Very limited blood trail on such a shoot, so you probably made a good call. I shot one once on a very hard quarting to me angle. Arrow actually clipped the ear and went through the top of the shoulder right down into the vital...Just where I wanted it to go.

Deer ran 50 yards and piled, but I never found a drop of blood since there was no exit wound. I knew I could make the shot and I knew it would be lethal and it was open enough that I knew I could watch her fall in the area I was hunting.

Good call in your situation.
