We go for a walk after 30 minutes and he didn't even see that he was walking right at a doe. She jumped as if she was jumping out of the way of being run over. I set up in a shooting lane and she stopped. I estimated 40 yards. She was quartering to me at about a 35 degree angle. I placed my cross hair on her and fired. She fired true too. Beautiful hit and pass through. I watched it all unfold through my scope. She didn't even flinch at the sound of the Grizinator going off. She only reacted when the Spynal Tapp passed through her completely. Great blood on the arrow but no blood trail due to rain. We searched for a few hours and some long distances to no avail. I'm crushed, I don't like not recovering an animal. It always bothers me.
One funny part happened today besides being soaked to the bone all day. My son and I relocated our blind to the area where these deer, and I believe all the deer, are moving through the area. Of course we clear the ground of leaves and cut a few small trees to make room for the blind. My son hates spiders and of course we saw a few. Go figure, spiders in the woods. Who would've thought? So we're finally in the blind and all of the sudden my 14 year old son freaks out, smacks his own face, and screams, "THERE WAS A F'ING SPIDER ON MY FACE!" I just stared at him with this blank look after what I just heard. Of course I was wondering where he'd ever heard such language.

Good luck tomorrow everyone. I'll be in that blind for the next 3 days trying to score.
