Most times there is some blood...but if you can't find any then listen and watch the way it takes off. Mark where you last see it. Sometimes you can just find leaves scuffed up or out of place were the deer has run. Follow likely trails and look in thick cover where they can hide. Sometimes they crawl in brier patches or under old tree tops. It really makes it tough to find if you don't have a clue what direction they go. You may just have to take the most likely route and look the best you can. Don't take questionable shots. An arrow though the lungs make your job pretty easy.
