Shot a deer on Tues. and thought it was a good shot. Got down went to the arrow and it was covered with a clear liquid like you said. " Gut Shot" was my first reaction, but it didn' t stink. Went, grabbed dinner and came back about 5 hours later. Picked up the trail and there was bright red blood ????? Followed an excellent blood trail for about 40 yds and there' s my deer. It was a high double lung shot that just barely missed the spinal cord. He was with a few other deer and I heard them run away so I figured he was with them. Everything worked out though.
