Look in the standing corn if he's nowhere else. If not...and you can't find him...well, it happens. It sucks that it's his first deer, try to encourage him and help him stay positive. I did not find the first deer I ever shot with my bow. A doe, paunch shot, trailed blood for about 5 hundred yards ended up at a river, too wide to cross...that was about 8 yrs ago. It happens to the best of them.[&o]
