Tough luck, but sounds like you gave it a great effort. I had some bad luck opening day. I hit a decent buck, but my arrow rest broke at the shot. I found the deer a week later, mostly by smell. he was withing 250 yards of where I shot. Not much left of him, but I did manage to salvage the antlers, but it doesn't really help, it's a bad way to end a hunt. The main thing is that we strive for the best shot, and do our very best to recover the aniamls we hit.
