I shot a nice 8 pointer this morning, however I hit a twig and ended up shooting him pretty far back. He was quartering away pretty sharply. I gave him eight hours then got on the blood trail. The blood was almost a maroon color and further down the trail there was some bright red blood with air bubbles. I tracked him for about 300 yards before it got dark, and it is supposed to rain tonight. I'm going to look for him all day tomorrow, I just hope the dogs around here didnt push him. I have never seen anything like this, people just letting their dogs run all over the place chasing deer. Any help would be greatly appreciated, this would be my first mature buck.
