I shot a 7 point last year and after disection, the arrow penetrated between the liver and the guts. In other words, the back side of the liver and the front of the gut was hit pretty hard. The buck ran in about a 15 yard circle around a tree. Then after running the circle, he trotted about 40 yards and finally slowed to a walk. I watched him as long as I could (about 100 yards). After waiting a while, I got down from the tree and looked for a blood trail. I found small drops of blood for the 100 yards that I saw him walk away (blood trail #1). After that, the blood trail stopped. I called my buddy to come help me find the deer. We circled the area for about 20 minutes andmy buddyfound the deer about 60 yards away from where that blood trial #1 ended. Where the deer died, there was a lot of blood, soI decided to follow the blood trail from where the deer expired (blood trail #2) toward where blood trail # 1 ended. I didnt make it 10 yards from my buck where that blood trail #2 ended. There was about a 50 yard hiatus between the two blood trails.
