I say look hard for him. I hit a nice 6 ptr at 40 yards quartering too me. The bullet apparently didn't exit and there was no hair or blood at the scene. My father-in-law and I gave a cursory look because it appeared that I miss. A few days later, my father-in-laws brother found the deer not too far away. Needless to say I have regretted not looking harder but there was just no sign that I hit him. I have since switched to Nosler partitions and get pass throughs now. I haven't had to track a deer out of site since I switched with most of them literally dropping in their tracks.
