I'll make this as brief as possible...feeling sick to my stomach. Hopefully for no reason.

Took a left-handed shot at a buck tonight, around 4:35pm. He came on my right side so I had to switch to my weak side. Crosshairs were dead behind his shoulder at about 20 yards. At the shot, he spun around and bolted in the direction he came, but I think I heard him stop and then continue on. Not real sure. Waited 25 minutes, no blood or hair where he was shot or where I saw him last. Was shooting 260 gr Harvester Scorpion with 90 gr BH209.

He didn't act like he was shot, but neither did the buck I took last Friday at 140 yards. That guy trotted off like he wasn't hit, but when I went to look for blood, there was ton and he had expired about 30 yards away.

However, I shot a deer the following day at about 50 yards (same gun, same load), and I hit him in the neck but was aiming behind the shoulder. I don't remember banging the scope between that shot and the previous 140-yd shot.

Anyway, based on this info, do you think I connected an he didn't bleed yet? The farm I was hunting is an hour away, and I plan on going in the morning to look some more.
