RE: Dead or not
being a avid archer i know the sights of diffrent shot placement it sounds as though he did indeed shot high and back at 200 yards and a bed with a vollyball.
First qustion was the blood clotting?
second qustoin did you guys mark the last spots of blood even though it might not be there when you get back at least you will have a good direction to which way he was traveling.
third how hard was he running after he was hit?
I'm not sure because im from pennsylvania but are season ended last saturday and we cant hunt on sundays so if it was yesterday (12/16/07) and you said it was 20 degrees out the deer will be fine if the coyoties dont feast on him good luck to the both of yens but i really do think you should have a dead deer some where. Heres some more tips on finding him( look down hill and also if there is any water near by when a animal is fately wounded they usally look for water) good luck post more if you have any more ?'s and please let us know if you get him
