Default RE: Bad shot

ORIGINAL: DeerStalker80

I shot her at 745 am. Got out of the tree 30 minutes later looked at my arrow. Didnt look to good lots of blood just very little lung blood. I think I nicked the lung and bunched the liver. Got out of there. Went back at 1145 had extremely dark blood pools in some places but never where she layed down. Then tracked for about 300 yards never found her. Did grid searching by myself and never even saw sign looked in every down tree every where didnt find her. I looked for about 2 hours.
The dark blood sounds like liver for sure. I really find it hard to believe she went 300 yards, like I said before, a liver shot deer will bleed a ton. How far (how big of an area) did you search after last blood? What are your temps like, will she keep over night? I am sure she is down, just a matter of finding her. I know, so much easy to say than do, but you have to give another shot. Try getting some extra eyes out there to help you look, I am sure she is down. Good luck!!!!
