RE: Need help and opinions on wounded deer.
I only found 1 bed. I seen where he must of stopped standing up 4 or 5 times. I didn't hear any other deer busting away. I didn't wait to track after busting him out of his bed. I thought after 16 hours being shot and running out of blood sign that it wouldn't of made any difference. Maybe I should of waited but I only found 2 other drops of blood after looking for another hour. I didn't notice any bubbles the blood was bright red. The ground was probably 40- 50 % snow covered. The strange thing is instead of bedding in a big 100 acre cattail slough he cut across about 40 yards of it and headed cross open country to the sunflower field about 3/4 a mile away. In the sunflower field there is probably 25% snow cover. It is just about impossible to find anything in a sunflower field unless you step on it. If he comes out there is just scattered sloughs and trees around the area. I'm hunting in northeastern North Dakota so it is pretty barren country. Thanks for the help I really appreciate it.
