Tonight I went out with the purpose of shooting a mature doe. I have already got a nice buck, and a smaller doe. So I pass up on some small deer tonight and finally a nice doe walks out with about six other deer. I take the shot at around 30 yards. The arrow looked like it hit in the perfect spot, she ran and stumbled to the ground a few times. I decided to wait about 45 minutes before I even left my tree. I get to the ground and can't find any blood at all. I finally find blood about 10 yards from where I shot her. Its a nice blood trail, then it just ends by the road and I find my arrow. I found a couple more drops in the road and then nothing again. So I started to zig zag looking for more blood, then I stumbled upon just tons of blood for about 40 yards, she is bleading like crazy. I track her and track her, then she goes right into a swamp with that really tall grass and I can't find a thing. I looked in the swamp for about a half an hour and couldn't find anymore blood, so I decided to call it quits. Its amazing how much drive these animals have. I have not given up though this story will be continued tommorrow morning

The arrow appears that I hit her low. The blood on the ground was very bright (not dark)and on the broad head side of the arrow there was quite a bit of white hair. The first thing I did was smell it to see if it was a gut shot (it didn't look like it when I took the shot)
