Me and my buddy's have been bowhunting for about 4 years now we have taken about 10 deer and everyone has been found you just have to know where the deer was hit and how long to wait before you go look for it. If we don't see the deer go down we back out and go back in a few hours look for blood or the arrow, then judging by the arrow or the blood weather or not we proceed on the track. Just this last week my brother liver shot a doe and we knew it was a bad shot due to the arrow and blood we found waited about 4 or 5 hours tracked it and i didn't go 100 yds same with a gun.....thats how we do it and haven't lost one yet and that's th e truth
