It happened to me (never thought it would)
I shot a nice little buck (looked to be an 8 point). Knocked him down, he started kicking. I thought well I got you, next thing I know the deer stands up and runs off.. I go to the POI and there is a pile of hair, more hair than i have ever seen before. No blood. no meat or anything. My buddy and I searched for a few hours and couldnt find anything. What do you think happened?
