About 3 hours ago I got on a very nice muley buck and let one fly. Due to the low light conditions I'm not exactly sure where the arrow hit but I heard a solid "thwack" sound and the buck kicked his back legs and whirled around and took off running. As he was running I could see his butt start to hang low and he really started to drag for about 10 yards but then he pulled himself back together and kept on truckin. I marked the spot he was standing and was unable to find the arrow or even a speck of blood. I followed his trail for a very short while and didn't find any blood and decided to back out because I didn't want to risk bumping him if he laid down somewhere close to expire. I'm giving him several hours before I go back and look again with some help.
From the story that I have related here where would you guess I might have hit him? Last Saturday on the opener my fiance shot a nice 169 inch muley and we had the almost exact same thing happen! The buck kicked his hind legs a little at the shot and took off running leaving absolutely no blood. We found him the next morning with a complete pass through wound. She hit a little low and a little far back but still managed to hit the liver and the bottom corner of the on-side lung. He didn't even leave any blood in the spot he laid down to die! Her broadhead was a 100 grain montec that had never been shot til then and my broadhead was a 125 grain g5 stryker that had also never been shot.
