It happen and theres not alot one can do with a gut shot deer. Theres little to no blood, also the person that shot more than likely did look for it and figured it was a good clean miss. It happens to the best of us.
That's not a very good attitude to take. While finding a gut shot deer can be tough, its not a reason to dimiss it. "oh well, gut shot, I'll never find it". There should be at least some blood and hair at the impact. You can follow tracks to determine direction to search.
Too many people don't see the deer fall and think oh well I missed.
