I was out today and had what I judged a 30 yard broadside shot on a WT buck late this afternoon. I let the shot fly and heard a thud, sounded like I pegged a tree but the buck turned and ran up the hill. He didn't go maybe 75 yards and it appeared he was having trouble and wasn't sure if he should continue up hill or come back down.

I watched him carry on a little ways and lost sight of him so I went to where he stood and looked for my arrow. There is was in the dirt with no a speck of blood but a few hairs stuck in the vanes. Thought I maybe missed high or low but I was sure he looked hurt so I began to look for signs of blood.

Nothing at first then 25-30 yards and I see this



I continue and see more
