i don't know
Post byxxxxxxxx on Dec 1, 2007, 6:47pm

tonight was a confusing night. i sat most of the day in one stand and didn't see anything. i was just about to climb down when heard what sounded like a stampede. i believe it was a buck pushing two does. i couldn't see real well and eventually what i think was the buck came through my shooting lane with his nose to the ground and i released the arrow(yes i was bowhunting). it wheeled around and ran about twenty yards and stood there for a few minutes. i figured i missed and watched the deer walk up the hill next to me with its tail betweeen its legs. i went down to find the arrow and to my suprise it was coated in bright red blood. not a extrremely lot of it, but still coated in blood.

i couldn't find any blood and i did find one spot of clear/brown liquid that smeelled like deer. my plan is to head back in the morning and head up the trail i watched it walk on.

pretty bummed. i did the same thing last weekend and couldn't find a doe i shot.

Good idea letting it sit overnight. A rutting buck may not even realize he's been hit and then walk off. I have shot two bucks like that and the shot ended up being a bit high and back. Good luck in the morning, bring someone to give you a hand, two eyes are always better than one.
