My wife shot a deer high with the crossbow last season that my dad saw a few days later 1 mile away and my FIL ended up killing him 4 miles from where he was originally shot.

The buck in my avatar was absolutely as spooky as all get out. I'd see him from a few hundred yards off and he was literally on my camera at my feeder 3 times a day all summer, and he'd always disappear right around bow season.
I had him coming in ONCE from the exact opposite spot I thought he'd be coming from and accordingly, the wind got me and once he got about 75 yards from me, he bolted and stayed gone the entire rest of the season. The following year some dude on a tractor shot him at like 20 yards with an open-sighted 30-30 with his nose up a doe's you-know-what. Went from spookiest deer in the woods to totally brain dead. Tractor was running, didn't bother him a bit.
That's deer.

A lot of hunters don't realize how far bucks, on the prowl, will travel..
When I hunted out west of Robert Lee in Coke county years ago I would climb up on top of the highest mesa we had.. From that vantage point I could see for miles in every direction.. During the rut, from this vantage point, I would routinely see bucks travel in every direction for literally miles and it didn't take them long either.. They can cover some ground at a fast walk or slow trot!!!! I would spot them as far away as I could see with my 12x bino's to the south and watch them walk as far as I could see to the west.. It was the same scenario in every direction. I always knew that they traveled long distances but that was a real eye opener.. Very few bucks did we ever see twice once the rut kicked in..
