[QUOTE="sambo3006, post: 349444, member: 2740"] That is bright red blood but doesn't look bubbly. The high shoulder shot is not generally going to penetrate the lungs unless fragmentation of bullet or bone takes place. Sounds like you didn't get the spine or lungs or maybe barely clipped the front chest cavity. Sorry to hear about losing the deer. I just lost a doe a couple weeks ago that I shot with the deer standing still right on the shoulder from a steady rest with my muzzleloader. I found pieces of humerus a couple hundred yards from the site of the hit but never found any lung blood and never found the deer. Like you, I would never have believed that I could hit a deer where I wanted to and not bring it to bag. It sucks but it does happen. Know you did your best and get out there and get his daddy!
