I shot a good one this morning at about 8:00 and I hit him pretty far back. I've got blood & intestine on the arrow. He jumped back a couple of steps when I hit him and then he walked off real slow. I grunted and he stopped and looked and then walked off slow again. I eased out of there about 45 min later. We're gonna go look for him at about 6 o'clock after everybody is out of the woods. Anyway....do you think that he's been layed up long enough?


We went to look for him and it started raining on us. We only found 4 or 5 specs of blood in a 400yd stretch and no deer as of yet. I'm pretty sure I hit him in the liver and it appears to be an arrow deflection that caused it. I'm almost positive that he's dead and I think he went back into the clearcut somewhere, but I have no idea where. Going back in tomorrow to comb the area.
