RE: Deer injuries AFTER the shot
A buddy and I were hunting in the hill country here in TX and he had just missed a 150+ inch 10 point. Needless to say he was a little flustered when a spike comes out. Its the last day of our hunt there so he decides to take the spike. Made a bad shot ( guts)and the deer bolted past my stand fell down three times on the rocks then plunged over the side of the mountain we were on top of. Now this was a very steep slope. No standing we had to scoot down it. Anyway we had very little blood but enouph to track him to a barbed wire fence where we found an eyeball and associated tissue hanging on the fence. At that point the blood really picked up and we found him 60 yards later. Bad day for that deer.
