I lost one this year on opening day. I had a perfect broad side shot at about 30 yards. The last time I saw him he was in high gear with the fletching sticking out of his left side and the broad head sticking out of the right side. Not one drop of blood. I looked for 2 hours that night and 3 hours the next morning, never found hide nor hair of him. A friend doing some scouting for black powder season found what was left of him and my arrow about 3/4 of a mile from where I shot him. I was sick about it.
