Bad news guys. Went out last night around 10p to look for him. Good news found my arrow covered in bright red blood, right where I seen him run 75 yrds into a patch of woods (25yds across). There was some brightred blood on the ground w/the arrow. Not a ton, but fair amount. So I figured he'd be in that smallsection of woods. As we walked in, the blood became less & less, down to a drop here, a drop there.I know that I saw that fletching sticking outbetween where his liverwould be &his back leg.The shotwas from his right rear side going towards his neck/L side. We think he may have made it to a alfalfa field next tothat small patch of woods. We were out until 1130. Wewalked an adjoining fence line, & doulbled backon the fenceline, walking tall grass. Even wentalong thefence line, which is behind my tree. NOTHING! Talk about dissapointment & a let down. I thought for sure he'd be just a few yards past the woods he went into. I plan on going out tommorrow morning. Rain is predicted, so blood trails are out. I did leave toilet paper on theblood as we found it, up to the lastdrop. I left my arrow also wherewe found it. I think I'll have to get a small posse together to find him.Amazingly he may have madeit across the field to the next tree line. There were tractors spreading manure in those adjoining fields,so hopefully he kept to the one alfalfa field. Maybe we'll find himtommorrow. Sorry guys,Ithought I had this one bagged. But alas, as well as you allknow, when it comes to deer & there resilency,hecouldv'egone a longway.What do you guys think of the arrow we found & the blood. It was bright red blood, no bubbles.
