I hit a nice bull last week. Had a 20 yd shot, and hit almost right where I was aiming. Arrow was real tight to the shoulder, but a little high. Probably about 10-12" from the top of his back. I shot at a slight down angle at him. The arrow penetrated about 20". It didn't pass through completely, I think it struck the opposite shoulder blade and was stopped. I was ready to punch my tag. Waited 90 minutes to track.... found the piece of arrow that was sticking out from him almost immediately...10".... he sheared it off w/ his shoulder blade when he took off running. Started tracking, and had decent blood trail, but not great. I lost it after about 400 yards. Spent the rest of the day looking and combing the area but never found him. I'm nearly positive it was a fatal hit, but I couldn't find him.
Thought I'd pulse the board to see if any of you have had similar hits with the same results. Any comments, thoughts, etc????
I'm still disgusted, and think I may need to go into rehab!!! Can't get it off my mind.
