the problem with chasing deer after the shot is there usally wont be enough blood trail to follow after the deer starts running at a fast pace!!!!!!!!! think about a gut shot it mite take a deer all night to finally died after that shot. chances are your going to have little or no blood to track to begin with . only chance you got is that deer to run off and settle. then he mite bed up and stiffen up and die. if you would push him he mite be in the next state before he stops!!!!!! it mite work if there is snow and you have a alot of land to chase him!!!!!!!!!
