Found the arrow not fit smell at all. There is a creek 10 yards from the last spot I found blood.
Is the biggest puddle of blood the start or finish of the trail?
Did you have blood all the way to the fletching? If not you might have ricochet off the shoulder.
Blood was all the way down to the fletching, brought a young dog out and couldn’t really get her to get on it. After 6 hours I’m calling it quits, gave it my best.
