paunch is gut ..... 3 hours = dead deer with liver hit ..... a gut shot deer can live a long time
I am thinking gut shot...liver blood isn't "chunky" and is usually bright brightred. That's one of those"go home, and look again in the morning" tracking jobs, all you prob. did was push that deer. Did you happen to look around any and all water sources in your area?
