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.
Wow.Yeah I agree, you never quit looking.My Uncle shot a buck in Princeton, did a frontal shot, it took off ,the animal crossed the Hope Princeton highway 2 kilometers from wear he origionally shot the buck and crossed the highway.He went down into another logging area crossed the Tulamine River, He had to hike back to his vehical, drive almost an hour around to get to the other side of the river and found it at almost midnight it wasn't even dead. It was walking and stumbling. Lucky for him there was lots of snow. He shot at the animal at first light that morning.They can go the distance no question.
