dang that's too bad... sorry to hear that. I lost one a few years back and almost gave up bow hunting because I couldn't fathom it. After talking with several people I decided to keep hunting deer with a bow. And the crazy thing is some people found my deer about a half mile away the next spring. But it was the same scenario. Good hit.... minimal blood...then the trail dried up. Yea it's a bumber for sure... but look at it this way. It didn't totally go to waste. It will be consumed by the other wildlife in the area. Also, look how many deer get hit by vehicles and are left to rot or not fit for consumption because their innards have been burst. I know how you feel....been there. But all we can do is shake it off and keep on keepin' on. It does happen... even to the best of us.
