Re: Ok, somebody make me feel better!
Not to add to your pain, but if there was paunch on the arrow, then that deer is dead. Your best bet is to get as many folks as you can and spread out to walk the swamp........it will be there.
Remember that every bowhunter has a bad shot at one time or another, and any bowhunter that tells you they never have, are either going to at some point or they're lying to you.
Keep your chin up and keep at it, but exhaust all efforts to find the one you shot already.
