I just got home and was finally able to get on the computer, so here's a quick update...After my class I drove home and got into the woods about 10:30-11am. Made it to the spot where I had shot him, but there was no sign of blood...it ended up raining here last night and most of the morning. I went back to where I shot and replayed where he ran away from me so I followed that path. He ran into a hollow and then on some flats above the main road, deer usually travel this so I expected him to bed down out there some where. Well I walked back and forth on that I don't know how many times and couldn't find a thing. I moved up and down to each flat, checked all the fallen treetops, I then hit the field above it and walked through all of that. They have a tendancy to cross over the field or run around and come out on the other side. I walked all of that checking a small patch of pines (once I thought for sure I found him...I saw something brown and white laying in the brush and got so exicted, I started walking toward it to then see it jump up...turned about to be a very large housecat...) I then walked into a deep hollow filled with more treetops and laurel directly across the field...still not a thing. I checked every possible spot I have known deer to go or bed and anything that I could see, but nothing. No deer, no arrow, nothing at all[X(]. I walked for roughly 7 to 7 1/2 hours looking everywhere I could. I hit the neighboring property to see if he possibly ran down in there as well. I didn't make it all the way through there, but I plan on going back tomorrow evening. I thought for sure that I would have found him today, so it's not looking too good at the moment. I don't know what else to do. Just pretty bummed about the whole thing
