Default RE: DAMN!!!

Just got back from 5 more hours of crawling on my hands and knees. This deer won' t bleed! I have lost all sign. Remember that I was a professional guide in Montana for several years and I know how to track! I have never seen anything like this one before. I saw the arrow enter and exit the chest at about 6 inches above the top of the heart. I wish I would have had a damn camaraman with me to rewind the tape! I know that it was a lethal hit. Last night when we went out we used lanterns, IMO the blood does not " glow" it looks black, used some peroxide on suspected black spots, and did find a drop or two. This a.m. I was on my hands and knees and did grid searches from the last blood found and came up with all zero' s. If any of you have ever hunted Western Washington......... Stinging nettels, blackberry bushes, my bride says I look like I just got out of Viet Nam!

If anybody knows of something that I have not mentioned, Please give me your opinions! I know that if you bowhunt long enough, you will lose an animal. It has just never happened to me before
