RE: Drew blood, Recovery post revisted.
Again not to be critical but I agree with MA Jay. He tucked his tail in and hunched his back because he was hurt, probably pretty bad too. If he was hunched over and hurt, more than likely six hours later he was pretty stiff and sore. I don't think the same deer leeped up and bounded away. You have to find that arrow or at least look for it or blood for an extensive amount of time before you fan out. Again not critical but just things that I have learned from bumping deer and screwing it up for me. We all learn from our mistakes. Good luck with the rest of your season!
