There are a lot of variables in your shot how far a shot did you find your arrow what did the blood look like? The main thing is it sounds like you gave it your best to recover your game. That is the thing that upsets me when if a guy dosen't find the animal in 50 or 100 yrds they just give up.I shot a doe years back and thought that I had a solid hit waited one hour and started tracking it went about an 1/8 mile and lost blood, the next day I went back out and looked all day and found nothing I felt like you but you looked hard so it does happen. Better luck next yearand keep tracking<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
