Your friend heard the bullet breaking the sound barrier followed by the muzzle blast. You may have hit the deer, but that's not what he heard.

I have just one question. If that was the only shot you were presented, why didn't you aim at the neck? If you had, this thread would possibly not exist.

If I could, I would have taken Kenny chesney's advice and done a lot of things different, but it didn't work out this time. It came down to buck fever, a shitty rest, low light and a rushed shot that caused me not to carry this deer home.
Went out today with a dog and she didn't find anything either. Pretty sure it was a clean miss.

And thats a good thing, a learning lesson to be used in future situations.. Glad to hear the dog didn't mark birdy or anything.. that is about 99% proof you wiffed..

That wasn't a trick quuestion.. just center mass on the neck?
If that stand has a roof or is at all enclosed it can give a false hit sound with the echo
the whole thing about "i heard the bullet hit the deer" has always intrigued me.....
I've heard it plenty out in Texas, hunting open country.
You can not hear the bullet hitting a deer.
Hope you're being sarcastic. I have heard dozens on our place, alot of it depends on the direction from you the shooter is facing and distance. Longer ranges its very clear. I can usually hear my own hit the deer, just depends on range and surroundings.
EDIT- When shooting a suppressor, the hit is sometimes A LOT louder than the rifle report, especially if you are off from the shooter.
