It amazes me how many people are out in the woods hunting live animals and really have no idea what they are doing.
Nothing short of embarrassing.
Do everyone a favor (mostly the animals) and take a day or 2 to actually read and learn all the stuff you should already know considering you are out there hunting.
This site has enough information at the top of page 1 to help people not be clueless............my advice would be to use it so you can start finding some of the deer you kill.
Lost deer happen in hunting............when it is due to COMPLETE hunter ignorance it is a lot harder to stomach.
Give the guy a break, it was his first buck, dont tell me you werent itching to find your FIRST buck after thinking you made a good shot. Childers, I feel your pain, I actually lost my first buck I ever got a shot on, the shot was too high and my dad and I searched hell and high water but no luck, sometimes things just dont go as planned. I hope you find your buck, and dont get discouraged.
