Sounds like you hit meat.

 

...and hair.

 

Not sure but I was in North Dakota tonight and got hit in the arse with an arrow. Where were you? I am missing some meat and hair. :angry:
Good luck in the morning

 

make sure its meat and not guts!....Ive been with the guts to often

 

hope you find him

 

Where did you watch the arrow hit him?

 

Color of the hair? - white = low hit

 

I couldn't see were it hit... The hair was white and grey

Why couldn't you see where you hit him?

 

Low shot is my guess. Just behind the leg at the bottom of the brisket (I think that is what it is called). It don't sound so good. No mention of any blood trail or lack of one. Got me wondering.

 

was he broadside?

 

If it looked like greasy hamburger meat smeared all over your arrow without any blood, your arrow probably passed through the meat just under his hide. In this case, you will find very little blood, if any, and no blood trail. If this is the case, I'd guess you either shot high, or he almost completely ducked your arrow. It sounds like a classic flesh wound, in which case you won't find him dead, because he's not going to die from your shot. I hope I'm wrong, and you find him. You should still do a careful and thorough grid search. If you do find a good blood trail, that changes everything. Go get your deer and post the pics. At least if you don't find him or any blood trail, you'll have a chance to hunt him again, because he will be completely healed in time for the peak rut.

 

Yeah, I was probably writing my post when you posted about the white hair. Definitely a low shot then, since white is on the lower side of the deer. Sometimes brisket hit deer die; sometimes they live. It depends on how low. Did you every find a blood trail, or your deer?

 

Sounds like a brisket hit. Greasy meat looking with white hair is the tell tell for that hit.

 

that's my take also hunter_tlh

 

shot a buck like you are describing, meat on the shaft, blood on the ground, trees, never found it

 

Good Luck!!!

 

This morning we found hair but no blood we kicked him out and he didn't even look hurt I saw were I hit.... High and a little back I think he will live tho!

Hey guys i thought i would update my thread that i had about a month ago and let you all no that he is back!! And he is ok here are a few pictures of him! im glad that i didnt wound him to bad it looks like i just clipped his back!

 

Great update. Now go kill him!

 

Looks like your left and right was good, he may have string jumped and dropped on the shot. Nice to know you still have a trophy to go after. Deer are so freaking fast. I shot a doe standing broadside to me two years ago that spun so fast that the arrow hit her in the side and exited under her chin... killed her. Until I recovered her and looked at the wounds I had no idea she spun as I was sure I had a double lung.

 

Thanks guys! Yeah i thought i seen him duck down when i shot but i didnt think that much! I have alot of other nice bucks on camera too hopefully i can put one of them on the ground soon!
