I shot a nice Tom Saturday evening. Shot was from tree stand hit it hard. Heard a nice thump. It went bezerk and threw out the arrow. He tried to make it over the creek but had a hard time flying. He recomposed himself and took off running like a bat out of heck. I got down and found blood, arrow but no bird. Searched sat evening and all day in wind Sunday. What do you have to do to kill one of these things with a bow. I know the aim are but the angle from tree stand is odd
