Just found out that the 9pt that I wounded was shot and killed by a neighbor kid the night before Halloween.
The right front leg was busted off just under the shoulder. This certainly makes sense of the loud horrible crack after I shot when I thought I had hit a tree.
It also makes sense that the day I discovered that my bow sites were loose, I was shooting low and to the right which would place the shot in that very area.
While I am sad that I did not get to recover that buck, I am glad to put it to rest and know that someone else recovered it.
