the more you hunt the more you learn about a hit animal from a rifle or bow and yes we all have got that sick feeling of a lost animal,it happens do the best you can. my worst was a 5x6 bull elk tagged and butchered before I got there by a taxidermist in Wyoming claiming my lung arrow hit that went thru animal with a sharp zwickey broadhead would not have killed that bull i shot that bull I called in at 20 yards,but he as a bowhunter tagged it and put it in the pope and young book claiming he killed that bull with a bow by himself in the big horn mountains,that was 30 some years ago and I am still pissed,oh by the way he`s a sportsman on TV sometimes

I am sorry to say it has happened to me a few times. Things I don't like to think about, I hope it never happens again but I am sure that it may.

Only critter I ever lost after a good hit was an 8 point buck that did $1800 damage to my P'up.
I am..........disturbed.

I bet some SOB beat you to it and claimed he hit it first?
