with knowing you hit there, and that blood, id be dragging it back....im impatient as it is...


i do always carry my coonhunting light(miner style light) in the truck though....i can light up the woods for hours...


sounds like you smoked it....shouldnt be far off...the bubbles say that it shouldnt be super far away....bubbles dont usually start showing up till near the end of the trail alot of times...

2 things are working against the blood trail....1) the heart is likely cut hard...its not pumping very effectively if at all...which is leading to blood not being pumped into the cavity...2) your arrow is in the deer...

ive found shots like that tend to go a bit farther than a shot slightly higher just above the heart as well...

good luck!! keep us updated!!
