First morning blackpowder. 6 pointer comes in at 50 yards. Grunt him to stop. Aim pretty well although nervous. Hit in chest, maybe a little far back? Runs up hill with tail down then walks across field a hundred yards into woods.
Wait 30 minutes. No blood anywhere!!! Cross field and search all runs. Finally find a large drop 2 hours later. Dark, dark red. A drop every 10 yards or so for 100 more yards. Then lose trail.
Please help, this is my first buck.
Thanks,
Pierce
Sounds like you hit high and hit the liver or diaphram. His fur soaks alot of it up. But if you hit the liver, he can't be far. It would fill up the the cavity and he won't make it far.
