Tracked him forever. He dumped down into a canyon Im not allow to go in. Couldn't find any blood. Look for my arrow for hours. Even used a black light at night to find my fletchings. I'm thinking about going back hunting again. A little deflated right now though. It wasn't that far. I should've found that arrow.

I have walked past my arrow SO many times! It is usually a busy that seems to find that for me. No blood? Should be pretty available most of the weeks. Good luck and don't hesitate to give a call if you need a hand.

I think I know what "canyon" you are talking about. Same thing happened to a bud last year who shot one and ran across the fence. We called the park service and said we could go in to retrieve it but couldn't bring our bows with us as that would constitute hunting. Never did find him though.

Caught him on trail cam the next night 1/2 mile away. So bummed. Arrow still in him. Back and high.

Same proximity, same bull. Nobody else was hunting in here. The next night. 1/2 mile away.

 

I'm pretty sure this is mine. But I could be wrong. Terrible.

Bummer. Hit it hard, and you might get lucky and get another shot at him.

 

My buddy hit an elk last year on opening day of archery season. Looked for 2 days and could not find him. Just an arrow broken off about 6" from the broadhead. On day 10, he saw a bull limping a bit but seemed fine, as he was chasing a cow. Got another shot at him and put him down. Found his broadhead in the elk. If he is not dead yet, he should survive, unless you get a second shot at him.

Still alive. Behind the spleen or he wouldn't have lasted that long. I would check the closest wallow. He is going to try and pull the arrow or roll and break it and when he does he will wallow to pack it with mud.
