I shot a doe yesterday after passing on a young buck on the last day of bow season. I knew it was a good shot, and I waited an hour. But, it was raining. Guess what. Most of the blood got washed away. This is a touchy situation. It would have probably been better for me to not wait as long in this case. I had no blood trail. It took me two and a half hours to find the deer. It was less than 100 yards from where I shot it. I walked within 20 yards of it several times but could not see it because she fell flat on her belly so the white was not showing. I was releaved when I finally spotted her.
