Appreciate all the advice everyone hopefully he comes around again this season

Need some help from my fellow bow hunters. Thursday night I got a 26 yard broadside shot on my target buck. The shot felt and looked perfect. He took off and I watched him run across an open field with his front leg not working and it appeared to be blood covered already. I calmed down for 10 mins and expected to see him piled up in the field. To my surprise, he was not. So I went to the shot site and could not find a drop of blood whatsoever. About 10 foot from the shot site I recovered my arrow which was broken off approx 2-3” above the fixed blade broadhead with blood up the shaft another 5-6 inches. I backed out, went to the house and got lights and my 4 wheeler and searched for an hour. Never bumped the deer and never found an oz of blood. So i backed out and had 2 very seasoned hunters come help me grid search for 2 hours where we covered a ton of ground. I shoot 70lbs and only use fixed blades. I felt like that should have gone through the shoulder at least enough to hit 1 lung. The shot was apparently a bit forward but I thought for sure it was fatal. what are y’all’s thoughts based on your experiences?

Trail cams all showing nothing but nocturnal movement in 7F but screw it, its a perfect morning to sit. Good luck to anyone out there today.

Be safe brothers!

Great looking buck bigpaul! Congratulations

Well THIS changes things…. first drop tine I have ever had on camera.

May not be today, may not be this week but at some point he will make a mistake and I will be right there.

Spent all bow season chasing this guy and today he finally gave in and let me have a shot. Thankful and Blessed. 7F
