[QUOTE="Rizzo, post: 54702, member: 736"] Thank you guys for your words of encouragement and confidence. I made it back out at 9 and made a quick search again for my arrow and came up with nothing. So I headed to the last place I saw him and combed the entire area for blood, checked at least 30 beds all with no blood. I thoroughly checked every little piece of cover within sight, over every dike, and the creek for a half a mile in both directions with no sign. Then went back and combed everything over again still nothing. Now the sun was up higher in the sky I went back to where I was sitting and started another search for my arrow. I set my backpack where I was sitting and walked to where I thought he was standing and couldn't find anything. So I rechecked again. I walked the field edge and finally cut his track and followed it back to where he was standing with no blood. Now I finally had some relief. He was a mere 20yards from where I was sitting. I shot for 40yards, so I just flat out shot over the top of him no doubt in my mind. Now what I can't explain is his body language after the shot and it still has me scratching my head. So with all that I am pretty happy that he's not out there dead and rotting or worse yet wounded. [/QUOTE]
