[QUOTE="johnish, post: 1728503, member: 34192"] In my experience (many hundreds of deer) A good 'thock' normally indicates a decent hit. Agree with previous answer that a sharp crack indicates a bone hit, normally lower leg. A drum like 'whop' is often a sign of a gut hit, although liver hits can sound similar. No matter whether you here a thock, crack, whop or nothing at all, you released the shot, it is YOUR responsibility to follow up and check for blood, bone, hair. Animals can be hit hard and you might not have heard it or see sign of it. It happens. Follow up and check. You don't want to lose that meat and it should be part of your covenant with the game you hunt. [/QUOTE]
