I'll add be sure to check around and even in water especially if you think it may have been gut shot. They always seem to search out water in that case.

I had one many years ago that went into a pond and died there, we searched and searched and then finally two antler tines were spotted sticking out of the pond which had frozen over the night I shot him. Took us quite a while to bust that ice, lasso and haul him out.

My nephew also just shot his first deer ever with a bow this past weekend, a really nice 10 point with three sticker points. He got a piece of the left lung, diaphram and a bit of gut and that deer went through one slough and then we finally found him lying at the edge of a pond.
