Buddy shot a buck tonight and hit him just in front of the point of the shoulder broadside from the ground. The arrow had absolutely no blood on it anywhere. Looked totally clean. We waited 2 hours then followed great blood for 300+ yards until we found a big bed full of blood. We backed out at that point. I think this was a non fatal hit. I didn’t discourage him from following the trail or from going back to look tomorrow because this is his 2nd bow deer and first that hasn’t died in sight and I think it’ll be a good learning experience. What are your thoughts? Is he dead or dying?
