Saturday night about 20 minutes before dark I shot a buck at 25 yards broadside. The shot hit right in the middle of the shoulder blade. My arrow penetrated about 4-5 inches is all and I heard a loud crack. The buck tried grabbing the arrow unsuccesfully. He remained in front of me for about 5-10 minutes hobbling and favoring his other legs slightly out of range for another shot. He acted like he wanted to lay down for awhile. He then hobbled over the hill towards a long and thick tree belt, arrow still in him. Waiting to search the next morning, we found no blood,arrow or deer. IS HE DEAD OR CRIPPLED? ANY ADVICE besides don't shoot him in the shoulder next time.Thanks
