The curse continues with my big buck. Last year I shot him at 30 yards and i hit him in the shoulder when he ducked my arrow....he lived...fast forward to last night...35 yards feeding i let an arrow fly his direction. I watched the arrow bury into the crease behind the shoulder. He mule kicked and disappeared over the hill. He was slightly quartering more than i thought. (i never shoot quartering too shots). The arrow fell out 40 yards from the shot. blood up to the crest wrapping. i followed the blood trail for 150 yards. okay blood at first and started to become small droplets. I backed out got help and better flashlights and continued the search. We ended up bumping him in his bed and he was still alive (dark outside) and bounded towards another draw.
We backed out and will continue the search in an hour. I am baffled at what happened. I was sure i lunged him and he would be dead in 50 yards. I keep replaying the shot in my head and have no idea how he is not dead. Im a loss of words right now and sick to my stomach. I hope a full night he will expire and i will find him soon.
Any tips will be welcomed!!!!!
