Shot my first buck with a bow tonight. an 8pt. Big deer, normal rack.
I couldn't find him due to light. We searched with light, but found nada...I thought the shot was great. It looked tight behind the shoulder, but maybe a bit high. I found the arrow about 20-30 yds past where he was hit, so the arrow was in the deer for a while. There was some blood on the arrow but also some fat. Pard said by looking at the arrow it appeared to be low, but I'm 99% sure it was high rather than low.
We looked until about 8:30 with lights, and decided to come back tomorrow due to lack of sign.
I'm in for a sleepless night. Hopefully I'll have good new tomorrow.
