thats why ya never quit looking.
i hit a small buck with my bow friday, he didnt go but 20 yards round trip and was dead on arrival..(he did a u turn and came back towards me.)
on the other hand, i hit a doe one time, at 30 yards....looked all weekend, found half the arrow, blood on the veins...on the way out to go home..4 miles to the road...there she lay, right next to the gate, with my broken arrow and broadhead still aboard..had i not seen my arrow and broad head, i woulda thought it was someone elses deer.
