at twilight i shot a mule deer doe in the left front shoulder about 6-8" from the spine.The arrow stuck, and i was unable to find any blood (or arrow). I know the general area he went, since this is my first year of hunting archery this is not the part of the hunt that i was anticipating. Does anyone have any tips of how to effectively find this deer? After being shot it jumped and sprinted off down hill, then turning, running evenly along the mountain side. i didnt try to track immediately after shot, i GPSed the point where i shot her and then unfortunately it had gotten too dark.
