Your deer will not survive.

If you go back, he should be 100 yards or less from his last bed or where you saw him last. The last time he moved he either winded you or you were making eye contact with him which is a NO-NO.

I tracked a gut shot doe on September 28 [shot by a hunting buddy] and after a couple hours of tracking in the dark, we found her bedded. My friend tried for a second shot but she moved. At that point I advised that we go home and return in the morning and that we'd find her within 100 yards. According to my GPS in the morning we found her barely 52 yards from her first bed. She was not long dead and a report from my buddy was that the meat was EXCELLENT.

I have recovered several gut shot deer in my 39 years [only one mine] I prefer to track slowly, keeping an eye [with binoculars if you are as old as I am] out for the bedded deer and flag the drops as I go. I NEVER try to put the animal away at this time because it usually only makes matters worse. The instant I see him or see him otherwise move [I take great pains not to spook them out of their first bed] . . . it is usually just an ear, I immediately back off and WILL NOT EVEN LOOK AT HIM! It genrally takes a gut shot deer around 10 hours to expire so I mentally calculate the time of the shot and the time I should come back and I'll leave the area going to camp or home if I'm hunting locally. I've never tracked one of these critters more than 100 yards from the last bed.
