Dan, I understand what you're saying, and I don't disagree with you for the most part. It's just that , given the circumstances and the type of surrounding cover, we went ahead. Weexpected her to be in the 10x20ft patch of scrub where we last saw her. The next closest patch was probably 50 yds. I know it no excuse for trailing earlier than maybe we should've inmost cases, I just don't believe that pushing her was the reason for not finding this deer that day. Given a different situation and cover, waiting a lot longer, would not even be a question.

My question was more at, How did the arrow do what it did?
