RE: I Hate When This Happens
You may want to put on some fire retardant gear because some flames are more than likely going to be coming your way.
Being able to track a wounded animal is one of the most overlooked aspects of hunting. Everytime I shoot a deer I always practice tracking it even if I know where it ended up going down. 1 hour doesn't seem like a very long time looking for a deer to me. I've spent that much time looking for a bird that I've shot.
If the hunting area was only 10 miles from your house I would have gotten some assistance and done a grid search for the deer especially if you were confident in your shot.
You can't turn back the clock, but practicing your tracking skills and just being persistent can go a LONG way toward making sure that you retrieve your game in the future.
