Thanks mrbb. I think it was a low brisket shot myself. Like just behind the front shoulder but low. The chunks of fat remind me of what is on the bottom outer most part of the rib cage brisket area. There was some hide holding a bit of that hair together as well so that is why I am thinking the deer will be ok. We will really never know. She took off running like everything was ok. Only two small chunks of fat. She was a cow of a doe. I did look and found a broken branch about 1/2 to 3/4 the thickness of a pencil broken off about 2' - 2 1/2' feet from where the hair was. My guess is that branch was enough to deflect the rifle round about 6" or more low off target. I would rather have had a complete miss than a poor hit. Its amazing what a mess a little branch can make. Oh well still have 6 more hunting days this rifle season to get back at them. Something is bound to give. It has been along time since I hit one and didn't find it. Still a bad feeling everytime.
