No.....chasing deer only causes them to run further and further. What I have learned from bad shots is to wait and then wait longer. I shot a doe in the liver at last light and wasn't sure exactly where I hit at the time. She ran 60 yards and bedded down. I only waited a half hour (cause I thought the shot was better) and jumped her. She ran over 200 yards away with no blood after I jumped her. I looked for hours before I found her. If I would have let her lay, she would have been 60 yards from my stand.
