Well a big doe gave me a perfect broadside opportunity tonight at about 15 yards. Everything was perfect, I was relaxed and she didnt suspect a thing. It should have been a chip shot. I put the pin on her and let it fly. It felt great but the arrow seemed to fishtail right into her guts. She ran like she was hit in the vitals so I thought maybe my eyes were deceiving me. I waited about half an hour and climbed down the tree only to find a slimy green arrow. No blood anywhere. I decided to pull out and gave her til about 3 pm. The shot was around 8 am. I looked for a bloodtrail forever and never found one. Then decided she ran for the creek so I walked up and down the creek hoping she would be there for water. No signs, no blood, no deer. I searched til dark. Im gonna head back out in the am before work to see if i can find her. Im so sick to my stomach thinking about doing that to her, and makes me wanna give up bowhunting and switch to a xbow. Sorry just felt the need to rant. If anyone wants to give me their stories of gut shot deer feel free, I need to know it doesnt just happen to me.
