RE: disappointed and confused
sounds like a gut shot. you should get walkie talkies. they come in handy when tracking deer because your dad or uncle can flank her or set up down from were you may push her. we always use them when me and my buddies go out. don't get anything special. walmart has decent brands. Motorola walkabout's are what we have and they have saved use quite a few deer including a really sneaky buck one year. he had circled use several time and was somehow walking right between use, but he was bleeding. caught him in a gully and all of use unloaded. YA MAN IT WAS AWESOME. boy he sure was good eating that night at camp. yep walkies are worth there weight in gold. good luck and get some walkies.
