For whatever reason I was certain I whistled it over its back. I was kicking myself for an hour and at dark got down to find the arrow covered in blood. I guess what I’m saying is what you think happened and what did happen can be two different things. Look hard and carefully and assume nothing.
oh yes - absolutely - the rule of thumb I use since a horror story I won't go into . is, if you think you missed -FIND THAT ARROW.. if you have to get a leaf rake or a metal detector ,, FIND IT
