Default Okay, I'm pissed......

Shot at a doe this even near dusk with my bow. Heard a crack so loud I thought I hit the tree behind her. Got down after 20 minutes and went to where I shot her and was looking at the trees for my arrow. No luck finding the arrow, so I went to the truck and got my flashlight. (Waited about an hour total). Well I found blood, no arrow....hmmmm.

Tracked the blood for about 15 yards and found my arrow with blood about halfway up laying next to a small sappling. I had alot of blood for about 75 yds and then it became extremely spotty. Damn mechanicals......I was shooting WASP 100 grn Jak-hammer sst's........They are now in the trash can and will be replaced in the morning with broadheads....All I can figure is they can slip out because they will retract back into place.

How the heck can an arrow pull out that easy? Damn things come out to easy.

Tracked the doe for over 400 yrds and got down to specs of blood....

Game over.....Hated to quit but she ran onto adjoining property and it was futile.....It would have been my first bow kill. Oh well, there's always tomorrow!!
