I was on my way to my blind when i spotted 5 deer, they saw me but didn't really do anything, so i slowly made my way into the blind and set everything up, the deer didn't spook, they just seemed nervous and slowly started to walk away, about 5 mins. later then came back, so im waiting for about 20 mins and none of them presented me with a shot, until one, he turned broadside and i got ready, i aimed and released, but as soon as i released i knew something was wrong, i was wearing a bigger jacket then usual and the string hit the arm of my jacket causing my arrow to go way off target, i hit him in the back leg, the arrow went in to the fletchings, he kicked and jumped then ran. i felt pretty bummed because one, i wounded a deer, and two, it was getting dark and i wouldn't have enough time to wait to track a gut shot deer. especially being there coyotes out there and they would have had dinner before i got to it. so i waited about an hour( i know i should have waited longer but like i said it was getting dark) then i went to the spot where i shot him, i saw some hair and a few drops of blood, i then saw some blood smeared on a branch and my arrow which was covered in blood, along with some fat/meat on the ground, so i knew i fatally hit him, so i followed the blood trail for about 30 feet, then i couldn't find anymore blood. so i started to look around and couldn't find anything, then i got worried, then my dad called me over and said "theres your deer" and sure enough, he hadnt made it 35 yards from i hit him. i attached a few pics of him, it turns out he was a button buck. i used a nap bloodrunner broadhead, and as you can see in the second pic, it made a huge ENTRY hole, atleast 4 inches across

Hopefully, the meat won't be tainted.
Ought to be good eating, as he looks pretty young.

Congratulations on your first deer, that's terrific
I'm sure you'll harvest many deer in the years to come but you'll never forget this one
Good job and good eating

Nice job Jake! Congrats on your 1st deer!
That arrow did some damage to the deer to bring it down so quickly. Very impressive!

How did the arrow cause so much damage? You think he dragged the arrow out and made the wound longer? Anyway, you got him. Congrats.

Good job on the kill! I have shot many through the guts with my rifles, never really wrecks the meat; just a little more clean up time.
That is a HUGE hole for an arrow! I haven't seen one that big since I shot a deer at 250 yards with my .50cal muzzleloader. An amazingly nasty mess it created!

Great job, Jake! I have had a similar occurrence with the string hitting the arm of a heavy coat (sometimes causes a miss, and once it turned a sure thing into a liver shot and a long stalk). You stuck with it, and you got your deer!
More power to you, and here's to many more!
