The beginning of archery season I shot a nice ten point that was twenty yards away from me. The shot looked good. But then the buck just walked off. Literally walked off. I waited an hour since this was my first buck I actually ever shot and couldn't wait. I then found a very good blood trail. It was consistent and there was quite a lot. I then find the arrow and it was covered in blood. As im following the trail I get into some thick stuff then see the partial body of a dear run away from me at about 10 yards. Did I jump my buck? We went back the next day and searched all day. Never found him.
