RE: Need help..Just stuck a MONSTER!!!
You don' t have to peak to see the arrow. If you just keep boring a hole in the " SPOT" you' ve chosen with your eyes you' ll see the hole appear. In the case of a non pass through you' ll see the arrow. I never try to pick up the arrow,... just the spot and the arrow will appear there.... or the hole. Even on a slam dunk the hole will just appear. Not giving him crap so much as trying to educate and see if we can get to the real picture of what happened.

RE: Need help..Just stuck a MONSTER!!!
I' m sorry to that you didn' t find your buck of a lifetime.
I don' t know the area you hunt terrain so on. And I don' t want to sound like a self
proclaimed bowhunting expert we have enough of them on here.
But it doesn' t sound like your uncle was much help. I' m guessing that your uncle is
the one that convinced you to stop looking after a couple hours.
I would go back to where you found last blood. Mark that spot and search on my
hands and knees for blood.and mark the next spot and move up.
Even if only one third of the arrow penetrated thats still 10" of arrow in him.
I personaly would not give up after 3 hours on a buck of a lifetime. And agian this
is just my opinion and you would know better than me you were there.
If you don' t get him good luck next time.

I am glad to hear you say he is ok.
I just find it very hard to believe that a 5 yard shot got such poor penetration and only caused superficial damage and he is already chasing does across cornfields.

RE: Need help..Just stuck a MONSTER!!!
by the way you never answered my question, have you ever lost a deer?
I have a prior commitment here in 1 hour but plan to search all day for this deer after i get permisson from the neighbor.
And then praise Jesus, there he is chasing a doe this morn! With no signs of injury! Someone catch that turnip truck! I just fell off.[:' (]
