Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Oddest thing after shot

I forgot one. At 'dark thirty' a friend shot a spike. I picked him up about 10 minutes later. We threw him in the back of the truck to take back to camp to gut. When we got to the gate, my friend got out to open it. He said "David, the deer's standing up". At that, the deer jumped out and ran off. There was no blood in the truck, in the direction it ran, nor where the deer was standing when shot. We never found it! Captdavid
