Default Shot one can't find it!! HELP

We searched until about 15 minutes ago. Best to back out from the sign.

Bout 10 min til 7 3 does walked out. Shot the first one in line she bucked and ran straight into the woods. Have very bright red blood, but just a few drops here and there. Looks like she may have turned a half circle and headed back toward where she came from. Any help on what to do with as thin of a blood trail as we had? Luckily the woods are not very big, just very thick

Wait till morning, hopefully you didn't press her to hard already. Remember in times of uncertainty wait!

Good Luck in the AM

Bright red blood tapering off sounds more like a muscle hit, what did you see?

I shot her and she turned went straight in the woods acted almost like I missed her. Where she entered the woods there was several drops of blood and then more blood every 15 to 20 ft. lil drops.

Sounds like a Shoulder hit..Like said earlier DID YOU HEAR A LOUD CRACK when you hit her??? But a sholder hit wouldnt explain the Bright blood..Circle,circle and circle some more But your in N/C and im In De and if its cool there like it is here you should and probably let her lay till Morning.
