Well this evening I was hunting and right at dark I had decent 8pt come across in front of me at 23yds boardside an he stopped. So I put the pin right behide the shoulder an shot he made a grunt sound and took off. I watched him run out of the field an it sounded like he crashed. Well I got down and couldn't find my arrow or any blood. I looked for over an hour So I'm thinking I missed but I'm gonna go back in the morning to look some more.

I shot one one time in the shoulder and it made a grunt sound. Didn't get a full pass through and my arrow broke off. Never found the deer hope u find em man.
Only accurate rifles are interesting.

Did the arrow make a thump noise or was it a loud crack?

We're you in the woods or on a plot? Did you look in the area you heard the crash? I'm willing to bet you find your deer in the morning. A thump and a grunt normally means a lung hit. Good luck, hope you find him.

I was on a plot. I looked in the area where it sounded he crashed but it was pretty thick an I hadn't found any blood so thats when I thought id better back out an wait for morning because I could have walked up on him an never seen him.

I've shot two that grunted when the arrow hit neither one went over 75yds. You'll find him in the morning. He's not far.

Yep, sounds like a hit to me. I bet the crash was him jumping Into the thicket and that's were he is now "dead".
