Vanishing Deer

[antler.gamer]

I shot a deer with an arrow and it disappeared.

I shot the deer next to the Farmhouse in sandbox mode. It was a potential hit, but I'm not sure if it really hit the deer or not, there was no blood, and I found the arrow normally. I can't find the deer anywhere around.

It's not a bug. When you shoot - you miss, and deer run away. Variants:

1) the weather turned bad and you can't find any of deer.

2) deer was scared by wolf in differen location (there he was spawned) and he come to farmhouse. When you scare deer again - he's back in original location.

3) Deer glitched through the terrain and is now spiraling away below you.

Welcome to the forums @antler.gamer!

Also, remember that carcasses decay. If you take too long to find your deer the carcass will disappear but leave your arrow behind.

I mean it disappeared immediately by the time it should be hit by the arrow. I had a clear view of the deer, and also I doublechecked if it ran away. 

1) @shw The weather was clear. I should have found it if it just normally ran away. 

2) @shw There is a normal spawn point of two deers between the Farmhouse and the road, I saw them regularly.

3) @selfless That's a good guess! Thank you!

4) @cekivi I checked the spot immediately, it had no time to bleed out.
