Default RE: High hit on deer...need advice....

Thanks Sprintflyer.... I went back and drove down a road on the adjacent property 50 yards on the other side of the fence where the deer was heading. I looked all up and down the road for blood incase the deer had crossed. I didn't find any so I'm pretty confident that it didn't make it to the road. One of the other guys hunting the field with me said he saw the deer stagger before it jumped the fence. Hopefully it is just on the other side of the fence. The shot was high like I said, but I had pinkish blood all over the arrow and what I did find on the ground. My assumption is that I only hit one lung since we did track for 100 yards without finding it. I do hope I find the deer and only wish that I could have put a better shot on it so that it does not suffer needlessly. I hope I can sleep tonight....If, no, when I find this deer it will be my first bow kill. I'll take the digital camera with me tomorrow and hopefully be back early with good news. Thanks again!
