I had what I thought was an unusual thing happen to me this weekend. My son in law ,John, and I went to our deer lease in Tilden Tex. for the final weekend of buck season hoping to fill another tag. I did not have a buck show himself but a nice fat doe did and after awhile I decided the meat would be great. She was at about 17 or 18 yds. and I took the shot thru a shoot thru screen in my blind. The arrow did not seem to fly right and she decided to do a belly dirt bath and dropped like a pair of cheap socks. I saw my arrow hit her high. Realllllly high. She was twisting down and the shaft did not go thru. I saw her run off with it hanging by the fletch. Realllllly high. I was distraught at the shot but waited the right amount of time watching about 40 turkey hens with no beards scratching any possible sign away then started looking. 3 hours and no blood no arrow. Went to town later for groceries and when we returned John said "somewone found your doe" . There was part of my arrow and a note saying an adjoining lease member had found my deer and left a ph #. I called and they said they would bring it right back to me. They brought the doe over and said they had found it not dead at 1 pm. I shot her at 7-15 AM. The finished her off with a rifle shot to the neck and brought her back. I know this has been long winded but I just wanted to share with you this story of a couple of good guys.
