I will skip the story until tomorrow when I hopefully recover. I hit exactly where I wanted too. I felt confident(who wouldn't at 8yds) I hit right where I aimed between the shoulder and neck. My only concern is the apparent lack of penetration. I watched him go 40 yds and stop. I then watched him walk another 40 yds and stop then I lost him. Not exactly a contention for the big buck but he will be my best buck to date. Decent wide 8pt. I would say about 6" of penatration, is that going to do it???? I searched for blood and found known, I searched on the other side of the creek and found no deer within 100yds. That is about where I seen him stop a second time. I plan on checing the thickets and the creek bottom in the morning, is 6" a lost cause, will he make it or drop??? It was perfectly centered between the ncek and shoulder, he didn't limp, tail down and stopped running and started walking within 50 yds, any opinions???? Ohh a few more tangents. I was around 12' up shooting a 60lb, 100 gr. cheap expandable, 400(29") carbon epics.
