I'm not going to butter it up either. I'm sitting on the same fence as kswild and doc. Not once have I shot a deer and not know where I hit it. When I say I "smoked one" that means I just saw my arrow sink right into the boiler room. 42 yards in low light conditions is not a wise choice for a shot.
I don't sit on the fence pretending either. I am on the same side of the fence as these 3.And honestly if you shot and smoked that deer in low light and found it that evening 125 yrds from where you last saw it ( So my prediction,under 200 over 175 yrds) it was pitch black and you had no idea what direction that deer took off in after the arrow hit. Low light
my Ass Im call you out saying you shot that thing in cover of darkness.Weather or not it was legal hour for to shoot is another
story, but that animal was just a black silohet in front of you and it
was black and blacker ,every where else.Was any light appearing
over the horizon yet?If you shot that animal in low light you should
have easily found that animal in a couple of hours max, most hunters
in 10 minutes. Couple of hours if you include a waiting period,10 min if you know you had a kill shot. Reguardless how much or little blood was on the ground an experienced hunter would have found it
hours before you did.Know where you shoot, limit your shooting distance to where you can shoot and hit the kill zone and for Christ sake shoot at a time when you can see.
