Two different bucks I have arrowed in the last 4 years have put me onto a hell of a track job. One was a gutshot buck that took me probably 8-10 hours to find him under a washed out tree by the creek. I learned alot that day, about what NOT to do after the shot. Another was a single lung/liver shot buck that I thought I doubled. I picked up the trail after 1 hour, but kept pushing forward with the tracking even after it became apparent he wasn't pouring out blood like a double lung. I probably tracked a total of 5 hours to finally find him on the other side of the creek in the nastiest thicket known to man.

David, that is great advice about tracking all the deer you shoot, I will certainly remember that next season.
