No prejudice.......

PEARL DRUMS:
Bow hunting has no prejudice when it comes to weapon of choice. I was out yesterday with a cross gun buddy of mine. He shot a 10 point at 12 yards and we didnt find it. It happens no matter what is in your hand. His first bow wound in over 10 years. He is heavily experienced. He has literally harvested well over 100 deer, I guess experienced isnt the word for it..............crap happens with shafts and broaheads flying through the air fellers!

For the record. He respects my weapons of choice 100%. He does his thing and I do mine, we couldnt be more opposite walking out to the stands!

It always sucks when it happens, but, if you do the best you can trying to find it and can't there is not much else you can do. I don't know how many hogs I've lost a blood trail on that I bow shot and rifle shot. I hit a big boar in the forehead with a 44 pistol at six yards and had him crawl off in some thick palmetto. Never did find him.

It happens. Critters have an incredible will to survive. I shot a deer many years ago with my Ruger No.1 300 Win Mag. Perfect shot placement... right through the boiler room. Well... that deer ran across a field, through the ditch, jumped a fence and finally fell over in the field about 500 yards from where I shot it. When I gutted it, the bullet had taken out both lungs. If you shot a human (which weighs nearly the same as some deer) the same way, you wouldn't take another step. Critters are tough!

PEARL DRUMS:
Eddie we looked long and hard for him. There is a creek that runs through the backside and many a deer have piled up in there. We walked a half mile stretch and seen nothing. He beld like a dead deer running the first 50-60 yards, both sides of the trail. We found where he stopped and dumped a bunch, then nothing. I circled round and round and found two pin drops 100 yards away from there, that was our last hope. He even used one of them heads that opens up 3 times and cuts 2" round! I asked where the hell CANT you hit a deer and not kill it with them things! Guess my answer is wherever this one was hit. He said he wished it would have been me up there at that distance...;) Maybe....

Adam, I hunt with a Ruger #1 in 300Wnmg also. I haven't lost one yet, knock on wood, that's why I love that gun. No blood trailing.

PD, ask Pappy about the hog he stuck in the boiler at the Alexacarrie Plantation. And then about the boy that was there with a compound that made a bad hit on one with one of those 2" hole Switchblade points that only walked ten feet and fell over dead. ???
