muzzy916 Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 a couple of about a month ago i took a shot at a big gobler with my bow, it was a 30 yard shot and i had about a 1foot hole to shoot though. I took the shot made it though the hole and the turkey ran off, i thought i had hit him but when i got down i found my arrow and there was no blood on it no fethers nothing and it looked like someone just layed it on the ground. I asumed i missed from the lack of blood and fethers and my arrow being clean so i went ahead accepted the miss and left for lunch. well i was talking to my brother the other day and he killed a turkey last year with his bow and he said it was the same exact way. has this happened to anyone els.

EKYhunter Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 On all of the birds I've killed with a bow, only four, there was visible sign on the arrow. Feathers will remove much of the blood if there is a pass thru but there will still be some blood as well as feathers. I'd say you missed him clean. At least you got a shot though. Keep trying!

Eddie234 Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 I would say there should have been some sign on the ground as well, some feathers at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mossyoak Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 should be feathers and blood,sounds like a miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 If the feathers managed to wipe off 100% of any evidence of a hit, the arrow would still smell of a hit. Did you give it a sniff?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
