He makes it almost in front, but far enough out that some branches are gonna screen him , good thing I didn't stand up.
He clears the branches and stops, and the arrow is gone. It hits a bit high and forward and not enough penetration to suit me. No wonder cause I had to scooch my butt around as far as I could to be able to shoot in front, that's why I like to be standing. So must have short drawn some and tagged the shoulder blade too. Half an arrow out, dammit!! He runs back north in the trees as I listen, then quiet, then I hear him sucking wind and am pretty sure he is down.
Other deer show up over where I think he is , some walk off , some run off but all go to the same spot.
I wait a full 30 minutes and drink my coffee, no cigar to puff on...
