Starting to wonder myself 🤣
Buck shot with crossbow. Clean pass through
Shot an 8 pointer last night 35 yards broadside with my crossbow. He ran about 20 yards and slowed way down while all the other deer took off with their tails up. He had his tail tucked and flickering with his head down. Didn’t find any blood. So I backed out until I can go after work today. What do you think?

People post these crappy shot or arrow pics and recovery threads then get butthurt when people say negative things…. Fun fact don’t air out your laundry to the forums if you can’t take the heat

Good for you!, glad this one worked out. Sitting in the tree reading this thread yesterday and I couldn't believe the amount of positive thinking and well wishing that was out there( SARCASM!).
To me, head hanging, and tail tucked means that deer is hurting, way to stick with it and not give up.

I'm gonna go with what my mind wants to think and that would be that he actually did find It and just doesn't feel like some of you guys are worth showing it to, just because **** like that cracks me up 🤣 however a picture would be cool !
Good job! Happy you found it... now as others have said... pics please!
Gut shot, but that doesn't mean you won't find it. All you can do is try, of course it feels bad when it's you, but what would you say to another hunter? We are rightly hard on ourselves, but you would never tell another hunter they should feel guilty about it, right?
It happens brother, make your peace with it.
All over my state we have guys that will go out with trained dogs to help recover deer, free. We get their phone numbers from the local warden. Should still be good even tomorrow if it's been as cold as here. Even if you don't get to it in time to eat it, it still helps you understand what happened and offers some closure.

That’s awesome, and congrats. Should gather some crow for all the haters to fill their bellies with.
No worse feeling than thinking you wounded one and lost it. Im glad it worked out
