RE: Lost A Buck Tonight!
What scope do you have? For evening right before closing time you need to have a 40mm or 50mm lens, it is like daylight looking through them then you would be certain of your shot. If blood is sporadic and he crossed a river chances are he might be fine. At that close range he should of fell in his tracks so maybe you clipped his upper back or neck shot him. Were there any trees nearby that would tell you if he brushed up against with blood, this could tell you about where he was shot, low blood possible leg shot, mid height shoulder shot, high shot upper back, neck shot.
