Dave yes it was a Rage hit. But I don't blame the head, it wasn't the broadheads fault. It was my own **** fault for rushing the shot and not waiting for a broadside shot. I was just so amped up to get a second shot at the buck after seeing him no less than 6 times in bow range. I took a shot that 99.9% of the time, I would let down on and wait for a broadside shot. This is the third buck I have shot and lost in my 28 yrs bowhunting. It don't get easier

Sorry to hear this. I was excited to get to work tonight and check up on this. Hopefully you'll see him on a cam pic and he's okay. Can't fault you in any way on the shot. 99% of us probably would have taken that shot in the heat of the moment. At least you never gave up on finding him and did everything you could to locate him.

Maybe you will find him, yet.
Good Luck

Thanks everyone. Keith thats a nice thought but this buck is 7.5-9.5 yrs old..if he lives from the wound he may not see next year either way. Trailcams are out and feeders are topped off. I'm headed home first thing tommorow so this will be the last report on the hunt. I hope everyone has a safe and happy new year.
