About an hour ago(5 pm)I shot at a doe, I beleive my arrow hit a small branch or something. They(deer) never seem to come out where you expect them too. But anyway I gut shot her(I,m pretty sure it was gutshot).The shot was at most 12 to 15 yards.I took my binoculars out and could see the green on thearrow, and stuff on the ground. I waited about 30 minutes andsnuck out my trail real quite. Should I wait till morning to even attempt to trail(it will be the coldest nite of the year here in south Louisiana) or try after several hours. I wasn't nervous at all and thought this was going to be the one.

What are my chances for recovery?

I,m really discouraged at this,if I can find her it will be my first w/ a bow.

Thanks guys
