Tracking deer with no blood

Anyone here ever kill a deer that didn’t leave a blood trail?
I’m tore up at the moment. Grunted in a monster buck and thought I had a good shot on him (aimed mid body behind shoulder slightly quartering away); if I’m being honest, maybe a little high.
Arrow passed through, but very little blood on arrow and nothing on the ground.
Need some advice. High lung? Backstrap? Dead deer? I’m at a loss

Thanks

The " RDB Defender." Is Kel-Tec finally serious?

The world becoming what it has, I've been looking for a serious "jump out of the truck and start laying down a lot fire" type of rifle, while avoiding the SBR shenanigans. Also, my 5'2" wife has always hated AR type rifles because of her short arms. I may have killed two birds with one stone here. I recently purchased a Kel-Tec RDB Defender, and I really like this gun. I have about 200 rounds through it, and I think Kel-Tec finally got serious with this one after building a reputation for questionable quality "novelty" type guns. To start with, this gun is light. It's a bullpup rifle weighing in at 6.7 pounds with a 16.1" barrel, and a listed overall length of 26". But, hey, this thing has a sliding collapsible stock that brings the OAL down to about 24" and it can be fired from the shoulder collapsed. (I wonder how the BATF missed this one LOL!)

My wife is loving this gun. Being a bullpup, the majority of the weight is behind the AR-type pistol grip, which makes it easily handled by a short-armed person. And, it uses standard AR magazines. It comes with a 20-round, but all of my 30 round boxes will plug right into it. It's also a lefty's dream gun. It ejects straight down, and all the controls are either ambidextrous, or can be switched over for left-handed use. And, it appears to have an AR type trigger group. But, one of the most surprising things about this gun is the trigger. Bullpups are notorious for having crappy triggers, but not this one. It's smooth with hardly any detectable creep.

We've got over 200 rounds through this gun, and it's a shooter. No hiccups. I put a Burris RT-6 1-6 LPVO on it, and I put 5 rounds the size of a quarter using 62grn full copper jacket Privi Partizan at 100 yds. Having a true 16.1" barrel, the velocity doesn't suffer. I can bang a 24" round steel plate with it at 600 yards shooting over a bag and never miss.

This thing makes a helluva vehicle gun. If your in the market for an SBR, you might want to look at this instead.

Spotting Scope For .223 Bullet Splatters At 500 Yards ?

Guys, I know Kowa will be recommended, but I`m a " Poor " and need to stay in a 300-500 dollar range. Don`t need to see bullet holes, just impact splatters for .223 rounds on large white targets well enough to adjust for smaller gong targets at 500 yards. Maybe 600. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Grizzly’s on the farm.

I have no problem with dropping grizzly bears close to or in the area of farms, ranches and populated areas. The eco lovers in Washington DC love it.

But, for each and every bear they drop in an area where the local residents and local lawmakers don’t want them, an equal or larger amount of bears should be air dropped over the areas the eco lovers live, the city limits of Los Angeles, San Francisco, new jerk city and most especially Washington DC. Maybe extra bears for Washington DC.

Love it when people in Washington make decisions, they think are right, with no consideration, concern or even knowledge of the needs of the local people (aka big hips obama making schoollunch decisions for my caloric starved, rural, very poor students)

25% OFF ZEISS LRP S3 & S5 :)

Let me be the first to break the news...through the end of 2023, take a lip-smacking 25% off the Zeiss LRP S3 & S5, no code needed.

Plan on a very nice 34mm XLP Level & Pro Series Lever in your box as well.

To top it off, 25% off a mount or rings ordered at the same time.

I've got a shelf full of scopes, and more incoming soon, backorders will not take long at all. I anticipate this to be a very popular promotion, and have been a very staunch promoter of these scopes at normal prices.

Any questions, please let me know. An S3 or S5 in an Adversus mount cannot be beat for the price.


Dude's not even trying, Scammer

Markwayne Mullin Throws Down on US Senate floor

Love it.

The Teamsters let my mom cross the picket lines to work every day and walked her to her car when she was done late at night.

My grandparents ran a large trucking firm and while there were some heated words, everyone got along when things were settled. The teamsters took care of them too.
