i think you hit exzactly where i hit a buck monday. arrow went in about 3 inches+broadhead..broke off a couple yds away and had 3-4 inches of blood on it. im guessing i hit just behind the shoulder but will never know. gave him about an hour and a half. trailed 400yds..NEVER bedded or anything. good red muscle blood the whole way. took us 2.5hrs to make it 400yds. searched another half hour for blood and it started to spit rain. hit the driveway to find blood before the rain so see if/where he crossed it so we knew where to begin in the morning. 6 of us searched the next day 5yds apart no joke every inch of woods for a GOOD solid half mile+..never found him. im more then convinced hes alive and well. heres some GOOD reading if you dont find him i bet you hit where i did...above the spine...most guys dont realize theres such a large area ABOVE the spine to hit... http://tradgang.com/cgi-bin/ultimate...7344;p=5%C2%A0
im more then convinced mine is alive and well. if he was dead we woulda found him. reason i hit there was because he ducked as the arrow was in flight. i had a lighted nock on and was flying true..till he ducked[:@]...you MAY got the far lung though..i was in a stand but my shot the buck was practically level flat with me on the next hillside. i dont know why i didnt get penetration! im shooting about 60lbs of KE and brand new broadheads!! just mad he ducked. them suckers are quick is all i gota say. im more then convinced hes alive and almost posative i seen him last evening driving down the road. good luck in your search...regaurdless give it your all. all it takes is a little swelling or cutting from the BH if its still in him and he can be paralyzed and down..or maybe you got lung and hes down...or maybe you got a hole in the chest cavity somewhere and he will pretty much drown himself. good luck.....
