MuzzyMadness,
So what's the scoop on the shot details, like was previously asked?
If you want help figuring out what happened, or want to learn more for next time, post 'em up. Can't help without the details.
Shooting from tree or ground?
distance to deer at time of shot?
how did the deer react to being hit? (jump and run or hunch and trot?)
Arrow found?
was arrow apass through or broken off down the trail?
fur color and type found at impact point?
blood/fur on arrow?
brown stinky fluid/food chunks on arrow?
blood color? (birght pink, bright red, darkred) /with bubbles?
blood on both sides of trail or just one?
normaltrotting/running hoofprint patterns or irregular/leg injured trail ?
Answer a few of these, and you may get more helpful answers.
Some users on here that may appear overly criticalcan be very helpful if you come with serious questions. Others are just perfect, never miss the kill zone, and wouldn't think of shooting anything less than a 200 class buck.
If you want help, don't sweat it...just share some info.
