lost a few myself with bow. what gets me is it seems we all know exactly where we hit the animal and blame the bullet/broadhead for something when in fact if the animal is lost we have absolutely zero evidence we hit it where we thought. you see it in reviews of this bullet and that boradhead all the time. "ill never use these again! I shot a deer right in the lungs and lost it, the bullet didnt penetrate the ribs!" well how do you know it didnt go though the ribs? no animal no solid proof. this was not directed at anyone here. sounds like you worked your butt off looking. all you could do man. i lost sleep over it waiting for the sun to come back up and get back out there looking. keep your head on straight and finish out the season on a high note.
