I just shot a deer at about 7o'clock today in some pretty thick woods. it was a shot at about 20 yards with a 70lb bow. it was a full sized doe and I shot it on the edge of some brush when I got the best shot, problem is as it jumped and bolted i saw the arrow still in it and it looked like it only penetrated about 10 inches or so. i found the arrow broken with blood on it, but no sign of a trail. It got dark so fast I was only able to look for about an hour. i looked in the dark for a while, but the area is so thick it was impossible to continue. i'm debating whether or not to go back out in the morning and look... but is it worth it? i looked for blood and whatnot for about 100 yards in the direction i saw it run... so i'm wondering if i should just assume it escaped or try to look again?
