No joy today guys. Ruby picked up his track, and we found one drop of blood ~1000yds out from the hit. We carried the line out several hundred more yards, but there was no more sign. My best guess is that I single-lunged him. This was a tough loss, but I just didn't think the deer was dead yet. Questionable whether he'll survive the wound, but maybe someday we'll cross paths again...
