ok. thanks guys. i'm definentely going to go out and look for the deer. i would at least like to find it even if the meat isn't any good and move it somewhere off the main trail and let the coyotes have it. i'll get pics if i find it too. i'm going to sit in my other stands for a while and maybe let it cool off back there. im hoping to find her. i'm thinking maybe it even hit the rib cage and thats what i heard but she may have jumped the arrow and i hit her in the leg. guess i will have to find out. thanks all.
