We went out real quick one warmer afternoon before bow season came to an end. I sat with the sun directly in my face the entire afternoon. I saw a few deer heading towards Andrew, so I sent him a text. He said later that he was sleeping and woke up just as they went out of sight. Finally as the sun went over the horizon, I could see more of what was going on around me. I heard something rustling in the leave about 30 yards from me for about 10 minutes behind a group of cedars. After a while I had just assumed that it was squirrels and came down off alert. Eventually I saw a buck and a doe feeding towards me. I got the buck in my crosshairs and waited for a clear shot. Finally he slowed down enough in an opening and I let one go. I saw the white fletching of the arrow sticking out of him as he ran off. Not much later it was dark, so we all got down to see what was going on. When I went to see where the deer was standing when I shot, I noticed the arrow sticking out of the ground. I couldn't figure it out since I had seen the arrow sticking out of him as he ran off. We trailed him for about 100 yards and found him. What I thought was fletching was a patch of hair missing from when he bumped a tree on his way out. As we dragged him back, his hair was falling out all over the place. I had not seen anything like it before.
