Go back in the A.m. My first 2 bow harvests were gut shots i wasnt to good at seeing the impact and all that good stuff, needless to say i bumped both of them an hour after the shot, and decided to come back 4 hours later (about 11 p.m.) bumped both again with flashlights and saw them running through the woods (this is 2 seperate years and i made the same mistake twice). Temps were around low 50's one year and mid 40's the other. Backed out after the second bump both years and got back on it the following morning, the first year the deer was 300-400 yards from where i bumped him not much blood(had to look good on hands and knee's) he stayed on a deer trail and went up a hill into thick pines. the other was 100 yards from where i lost the blood, saw him plain as day in the light.
Bothate fine
