RE: LOST DEER
I keep records of the deer I track for myself and others and those that have been hit through the brisket bleed like crazy for 100 or so yards then it peters out or stops all together. Bright red blood sounds about right also. Big smears of bright blood to be exact. Only thing for you is the lack of fat. But, there are no absolutes. The white hair also says that the hair came from the bottom of the body. I' d still check out the water just in case but I bet you' ll see her again. Good luck.
