Hello everyone, my name is Jim. I've been reading the forums for about a year and decided to join in on the fun today. I hate to start off with just a negative post, but I was hunting yesterday morning and had a buck coming in. I manage to get him to stop about 25 yards away very slightly quartering away. I shot and hit him high and forward more than I ever wanted to. The arrow stuck in him. He went over the hill, then I lost sight of him. I waited 4 hours then started trailing him. I found some blood for about 20 yards, then it shut off. I searched and searched, but couldn't find anything yet.

I wanted to post a picture of the 'hit' and get some feedback. Do you think I was too high and forward to catch any vitals? Do you think he will make it. What are your thoughts. I plan to look some more tonight. Thanks, I appreciate it.
