The irony of your username is not lost on me...
sorry you lost your buck. If you hit behind the shoulder, and in front of the last rib, and exited anywhere in the same area on off side, with a razor sharp head, he’s dead. If you hit where you say you did with a razor sharp head, at that distance and angle, he’s most likely dead within 100 yards.
While anything is possible in the deer woods, you can rest assured you either didn’t hit where you thought, or the angle wasn’t what you thought, or the arrow deflected, or it wasn’t sharp going through him. This is making the assumption the 6 grid searchers weren’t blind!
maybe buzzards or trail cams Will get some closure for you.
I tend to agree that the spirit of the successful hunts forum probably isn’t this. But here we are. I’ll give you a pass if you can share 3 things you learned on this hunt, that might help someone else!
