I hope you get another chance at him soon. Good luck next time and hope you have some pictures of him too.

Certainly I would be after him again. He is still there hopefully. He will probably be a little more weary though.

It could've been far worse . . . suppose you HAD hit him, but with a gut shot or something similar? Every ethical archer would choose to miss an animal entirely rather than wound and then lose it. This way, you still have plenty of opportunity this season to take him. He'll no doubt be much more cautious in the same scenario next time, so you might want to try setting up on an approach route further back in the brush--he's probably gonna start hanging up in there waiting for dark soon anyway. Good Luck!

Keep at it!
Take a look at the inexpensive optical rangefinder that works by aligning the image. Go out to a football field and set the element at 20 yards with a target or a friend and your set! Then range several trees, bushes, dirt clods, corn cobs, sticks ... well you get the idea and you have know yardage markers.

Good Luck!
