I had almost the same thing happen to me last year, except I was on the ground. I grunted an 8 point in and shot him at about 30 yards. When I went to look at my arrow it had only penetrated 5-6 inches. I marked the spot and gave him about 3 hours and went buck. As I started to look I saw a buck across the field that slowly walked into the woods. I tracked him for about 40 yards on small puddles of blood, and then the next 20-25 yards were huge puddles, then back to small puddles for another 30 yards then I lost him after about 10 yards of little specks, I backtracked and then called it a night. I returned the next morning and combed the woods in grid searches, and circles with my friend. After looking another 2 hours and covering all the property we had permission on, we sat down on a fallen log to have a drink, and right in front of my boot was a little blood..wow talk about luck. I tracked him for 10 yards and lost the blood again. We looked for another hour in the direction he headed but nothing. Overall from the 1st blood to the last was probably 250 yards. The thing is, where we found the last blood is where we saw the buck in the field the night before enter the woods. If I could of done it all over again I would have pulled out right then and went back in the morning. Luckily the buck survived, I saw him the last day of the season at 20 yards, after I had filled my tag in the morning.

Shots that are True....Pass right Through!!!
