[QUOTE="huvrman, post: 4979345, member: 10625"] I shot at a 160 inch buck I’d been watching for months. Was sure i saw the crossbow bolt with lit lumanock go over his back as he ducked the string at 40 yards. But when I could not find the bolt in the grassy food plot, I convinced myself ( even though there wasn’t any blood or hair) i must have been mistaken and the bolt was buried up in the chest cavity of the deer. I spent the next 2.5 days looking for the bolt, the deer, and taking my dog out on a lease to try to find it or its remains. Even went out at night to try to find the lumanock. I rationalized the lumanock was either in the deer or the deer had fallen over on it, explaining why I couldn’t see it after dark. Well 40 hours later I got a game camera pic of half the bucks head at night. At least I knew it was alive but still could not tell if it had an arrow lodged in it somewhere. 2 weeks later that buck showed up at midnight in the same plot I shot him in, and he was perfectly fine. I never hit him. I never found my arrow either, though. Some things just can’t be explained. [/QUOTE]
