Default Do you grunt?

Last night I went out and had a nice doe come right towards me. She walked right where I thought she would and I drew back when she got behind a tree. She cleared the tree and entered my shooting lane (only about 7 yards away) I did a little grunt with my mouth and she just about jumped out of her skin. I've done it before with other deer and they usually just stop.

Is it possible she was just too close?

Anyway, she ended up coming back but I somehow only manged to graze her. My arrow had a few hairs on it and only a tiny speck of blood. I waited a few hours and only found two tiny drops of blood. After I shot she bolted about 40 yards away and snorted then she ran another 40 yards or so and snorted about 5 or 6 times and then took off. If I hit her good she would have just kept on going right? I was contemplating going back today to look again but everyone I hunt with tells me she was just grazed.

Any input on both the snorting and the idea of going back in to look for her?
