Kip, just remember, a clean miss is better than a bad hit. With that rain coming in also, it may have been a blessing in disguise. I remember a nice buck I hit one evening right behind the shoulder. Before I could get to the ground, the skies opened up. I went right to the spot where I had seen him running last, and there I found both pieces of my arrow covered in blood. I started to trail him from there and in about 10 minutes, all blood had disappeared. Had no choice but to start a grid search and never did find that buck. Felt terrible and have never forgotten it. As hard as you hunt, there will be another shot, its only a matter of time. Good luck, John
