I been hunting 40 years and lost 1 with a rifle and 2 with a bow,and strange things happen. The buck I lost was shot on a mountian and I tracked blood down the mt.,across a blacktop road and about 1/4 mile into the heavy cover all with about 12" of snow on the ground! The blood just stopped and there was so many other tracks,I never did find him even after looking a day and a half..NOTHING. It's all a part of hunting my friend...
