This was the arrow

Sorry to hear no luck finding it so far, I will say what we see and what the arrow did after the hit is not always what we think it is, I have seen a lot do weird things when the hit meat/hair or bone, finding the arrow is always a blessing to me, not always but most times it will tell the story.The arrow or at least part of it should be close by if it went through thick stuff, I would spend some time looking for it, cain and with it painted up it would be easy to walk right by.I have done that several time but by going back and really focus on the arrow and not the deer or blood most times I come up with it, just a thought ???

Yes Pappy it is always interesting seeing what the arrow actually does by recovering and cleaning your deer.
Maybe my eyes tricked me and the arrow took a different angle than my brain processed.
I really wish I had a video of what I saw to compare. What I saw certainly looked like a text book placement and good penetration.
The deer was walking and it’s impossible for me to really know what the arrow did at this time.
I have been looking for the arrow to but your right. My arrows are really hard to find.
So far I have been making firewood in an area just around the spot I saw her lay down. I have been looking for my arrows as I work.
I really suspect that she is at the bottom of the hill somewhere.
Of course I have a list of things I would have done differently but I guess that’s for next time.
You know I’m always going to be looking for that arrow. Always
We have a pretty busy Thanksgiving schedule. I know we have at least 4 gatherings. The house sure does smell good.
I love Thanksgiving. I try to be thankful everyday.

Ya I have had more than I care to count over the years, always hate the unanswered ones, I will say I have had a lot that the answer came sometime later when I saw it again doing well or killed them and found my broad head still with it, they for sure don't always die and I would say most times they don't. Just my thoughts. ???

She could be pappy. I still have the feeling she is somewhere down the hill, but that’s just my feeling. It sure seemed like a good shot.
It has been a nice winter for working in the woods. It’s really hard to imagine what a tangled up mess this once beautiful ash woods has become.
I’m making progress. I have a swath cleared from my pond to the road now. It still goes about a quarter mile like this.
