Well guys yesterday afternoon i put a shot on a decent 8 point, He was quartering away slightly when i shot, to me the shot looked good a tad foward maybe but not much i watched as my lighted nock went right in behind the shoulder, but made a loud noise as it hit. He took off fast like he was hit hard and ran real low to the ground. i gave him 40 mins and went to look for my arrow. it was laying there a few feet in the direction he ran from where i shot him. There was bright red blood and hair 8 inches up on the arrow with no broadhead on it. i grabbed the arrow and went back to my truck to wait for dark and for my dad to come meet me. We took up the trail a few hours later, there was no blood to speak of for about 50 yards, then there was good blood for about 100 yards and thats were we found his bed. Only a little blood in his bed and after he got up out of his bed the blood completely dissapeard. I got a feeling we may have bumped him out of his bed, but knowing the shot i put on him i thought he would of been dead. we then backed out and i went back out this morning but when i woke up there was a inch of fresh snow added to 12 we already got, i was bummed to say the least, i looked for 3.5 hours and couldnt find him. Guys im really sick i couldnt find this deer and to be honest i think he may be dead somewhere. this is only the second deer i lost in my hunting career and man it stinks.
