I found her! I went in this morning at first light and started where I last saw her yesterday evening. To my amazement I found some blood! Not alot but enough to get me started in the direction she traveled. I was on my hands and knees at times following through briars and mile a minute. Then the blood stopped![&o]But the route she was on was leading down hill towards the little creek I mentioned yesterday.
I had to go through some thick stuff to access the creek and there she lay right on the creek embankment! Right on!!!
I was soooo happy I recovered her and it only took a little more than an hour. She only really went about 100yrds. The trick was leaving the woods after I saw that arrow with no blood on it and realized I hit her in the gut!
As it turned out my shot hit her center body and angled forward and through one lung, hence the minimal blood lose. I had heard that a gut shot can leave no blood evidence on the arrow even though it hits something major like a lung. When I gutted her there was steam coming from her insides. The meat will be fine!
I want to thank all of you guys for your advice and confident replys reguarding this bad shot. I sure hope it doesn't happen again any time soon. But like a couple guys said, this is hunting and I LOVE it.
Again, thanks for all the support!!!
I Found Her!!!!!
