How does this happen?

So last night I shot a nice buck. Here's something to think about and I still can't figure out.
I was using a rage and made a perfect shot. Watched him buck really hard and the arrow pass through. He ran about 40 yards before he dissapeared, but I heard him crash and knew where he was down at. When I got down and got my arrow, I started following the path he ran off in. As I was walking I looked very close the entire way, but I didn't see one single drop of blood. When I got to the buck, there was a little blood on the ground around him and some coming out his nose, but even 5yards from where he crashed, there was no blood. When we gutted him, we found that the rage pretty much cut the top of the heart in half. Why wasn't there any blood? Anyone have any ideas?
The fact that you can make an absolute perfect shot, but get no blood out of it. I'm still a little puzzled.

Pretty hard to pump out blood if the pump isn't working.

No heart.......no blood pumping.......no blood trail???? You may have sliced and diced the major arteries leaving the heart, making it unable to replenish the lungs and tissue with the blood that is normally left on ground. Just a guess, but I'd say it's possible. Those Rage heads are wicked!!

Ah.... yes... of course. This makes sense.
First time using a rage so I was hoping to follow the mecha of blood trails. Hey, no complaints though. It just did it's job too well.

Sounds like he coulda lost some blood pressure.

Also, sometimes wounds seal over with internal tissue or just pressure from surround tissue. You can never absolutely count on a blood trail to be there, no matter what head you use.

2 blade heads are more prone to wound sealing.
