RE: Clean miss or NO?
If I had taken a shot at a monster of a buck I'd be out there still looking for sign of a hit or a dead buck. Tough to tell without being there but no blood or hair doesnt always mean a clean miss. One thing I've learned through the last 2 deer Ive shot is that they dont always bleed right away if you hit them a little higher. There may be an initial splatter of blood, but not always, and they wont start pouring blood until the chest cavity fills. I've had deer make it 40-50 yards before bleeding, and had to follow only tracks. If I were you I'd get back out there!
