RE: Possible Gut Shot
Today I hiked back into the mountain to track the deer I shot. I ended up finding blood about 20 feet from point of impact. The blood appeared to be dark colored. There was not a whole lot of blood but enough to track him 100 to 150 yards. After 100 to 150 yards the deertracksstopped and it seems like the blooddid as well. Is the blood color I found consistent with a liver shot?
Where I'm hunting it is a 1 hour hike back into the mountain. I dont mind making the walk because this was easily one of the biggest deer I've persnally seen in the woods (I'm relatively inexperienced). Yes, I do plan on returning tomorrow and searching. My friend that was helping me track the deer says its a lost cause and to give it up. He also says that the coyotes may get to him and scatter his remains. What do you guys think about that?
I plan on putting in the time whatever it takes.Its been todays, what do you guys recommend I do.
Thanks
