The instant I saw the arrow in flight I knew I was in trouble!! The arrow was flying to far left and there was no steering wheel to turn it right in flight. I just had to watch it zip pass her and her run off and laugh at me. I just sat down in disgust. I had a 12-15 yard perfect quartering away shot and I blew it!
I put another arrow on the string and sat for the remainder of the night thinking it was over and I had tomorrow to get it done. Right about 4 ish I heard some shuffling behind me again and here comes a deer. Nose to the ground almost on a full trot, he was dogging the does trail step for step. It wasn't till he got to the spot where the doe spooked (I shot)did he stop and seemed to know something was wrong. He stood there looking around and seemed to pick me out of the tree. He took two or three steps forward and I had a shot so I pulled back and he spooked, jumping 2-3 leaps and stopping. He stopped quartering away at about 20 yards. I had about a 6-10 hole to shoot through and took the shot. THe arrow flew true this time meeting his chest. He took off out of there at a full run with my arrow sticking out of him. As he got out of site I heard him run another 10 second and then just stop no crash no rusting. I figured he was standing there but I never heard him take off. I waited until dark to get down and look for blood. Nothing! I couldn't find a drop anywhere. I just started in the direction on which he ran and in 70 yards there he was. I retraced the blood back and there was blood only the last 20 yards.
I am shooting a Simmons land shark and this blew me away specially after looking at the hole going in. The hole measured 2 3/4 wide. There musta been no blood because the arrow stayed in. I took out the one whole lung and clipped the the artery in the neck and the arrow stopped at the breast bone.
