[QUOTE="imhntn, post: 1629917, member: 3755"] If you hunt long enough, it is going to happen. Too many variables. The deer can jump the string at the shot, take a step, you can hit a twig you didn't see, etc. We try to be ethical and careful but it happens and as someone else said, even to rifle hunters. My brother shot a doe at 15 yrds Sunday night and saw the arrow hit perfectly. He tracked her and had great blood coming out from both sides. He jumped her but could hear her gurgling as she ran off. Didn't find her till the next morning and the coyotes had gotten to her. She was hit perfectly....tight behind the shoulder and about 1/2 way up the body and the arrow exited right behind the off side shoulder. She had still covered 600 yrds and was still alive 45 minutes after the shot. They are tough animals and can do amazing things sometimes. Stay after it. You did your best and tryed to be ethical. It will happen again one of these days but the coyotes and buzzards have to eat too. [/QUOTE]
