Honestly i think I just hit him high in the leg or low on the chest. There was nothing on the arrow. Didnt smell or anything. He really didnt hunch up, what i meant is that he flinched or however, its hard to describe. I know what a gut shot looks like and it wasnt one. I still couldnt find him but Im going out every evening this week and hopefully I'll see him again. Next time I'll win our battle.

BTW I've seen this buck numerous times but was never able to get a shot. He has always spotted me or came from down wind and caught some of my scent. This time he had no idea I was there.
