FAT. IMO rain = no hunting It wasn't raining. It rained about 7 hours later.

No smell on the arrow and little white hairs on shaft and in first amounts of blood that I found.

No smell on the arrow and white hair on the shaft, you just creased the belly. Only white hair on a deer are throat, butt, or belly. You will see him again.

I've seen deer with white hair just about everywhere and just about every combination of white and brown you can think of.

greetings If that arrow did not do a pass through how comes it has fat? and blood up near the nock. Would it have that if it had creased its sternum? If there is not a strong smell it aint guts, im no bowhunter but i do know that from rifles. If the deer ran off with the arrow in it im guessing the arrow must of been bedded up to the nock where the fat? marks are, roe deer fat is like lard and does not run. I am baffled by the hollow sound and the lack of smell, and marks up to the nock. Think i would be tempted to look for it again, in better weather if it is raining hard, if the dog gets downwind of it he or she will pick it up on the wind. Just my thoughts. Regards Billy

FAT. IMO rain = no hunting It wasn't raining. It rained about 7 hours later. I will rephrase. If it is calling for rain or raining I don't hunt with bow. Thought your original post said rain had washed away scent for dog and blood trail?? Mute point really I'm just not a big fan of hunting with bow in rain or if calling for rain for the above situation. (Makes for poor or impossible blood/scent trailing.) Sounds like a low hit. White hair, fat. If deer isn't found within first 250 yard's it's normally not a vital organ hit. Gut shot's will die but have found them over a mile away before. Deer are tuff and more than likely will survive. IMO

Got ya. Not busting your nads as it sucks to lose a deer esp., a decent buck, but the longer you hunt it is bound to happen regardless of how good a shot you are. Joker's can jump the string, a small limb can get in the way etc. that's just part of bow hunting. Rut is just get'n going so get back on the saddle and bust another one. Good luck to you.

Damn, I would sworn they were deer. Double throat patches. White stretching clear from ball to brisket. Piabald. Albino. Rumps white from hip to hip. White legs. White "socks".
Kinda discouraging to know they were all cows.

That's Boonexhaser. Shot my bow today. Didn't have to make any adjustments. I just made a human mistake.

mmmm Been thinking on this If that was my deer here and i had a pass through with that much fat there is only one place that arrow could of been Way back in the kidney area, That is my best guess, hit it too far back. regards sherlock Billy.
