We went through everything again yesterday. We combed every thicket. went back over the blood trail. We found nothing. Circled back, went everywhere this deer might have gone to no avail. I guess at this point I hope someone found him and took him. This has been a long 3 days. Obviously could have been a better shot angle and that is my fault, big learning experience on this deer. Going to take a break for the remainder of the week and go out next week again. I feel terrible about this, this buck deserved more than to crawl into some thicket god knows where and die, or lay there wounded(even though I don't think that is the case at all based on the sign). Thanks again for all the support and advice. I followed all of it and tried evrything guys, guess it wasn't meant to be.[&o]
