when you look all night and then all morning the next morning and still no luck what else can you do its been 2 days ago now and the whole purpose of the post was too help find out about my shot placement so i could not make the same mistake and don' t think for one sec if i didn' t feel like i had looked long enough for the deer or gave my very best effort to find him i would have my butt out there looking for more sign or the deer this is my first deer i have ever lost but i did learn somthing from this experience about the next shot i take.
