From the time I picked it up this morning until I lost it he never once tried bedding down. Since I saw white hair where I shot him, is there a chance he's going to make it. It kills me to think I may have wasted this deer.
With the white hair on the ground, what kind of angle did you have on the shot?
Might also take a look at the blood trail again to see if he doubled back. From your posts, it sounds like too much blood lost not to be down somewhere.
