Well, I just came back from 2 days deer hunting.
Didn't get a buck but a nice doe, and the hunt was a thrill.
First of all, the deer showed up on the field 300 yds away from my stand, so what else is new
It was very windy and gusting pretty strong, looking at the wind direction and the terain, I figured I had a chance to get closer to the action.
Well, the plan worked perfectly, under the cover of blowing wind and some bush I got close enough to take a nice shot at big doe at 25 yards. My 400 gr arrow tipped with 100gr Slick Trick went through her boiler room like hot knife through butter.
She made wide 180 degree turn, and gave a mad run with her tail down 50 yds along a fence and then she jumped over it and disapeared in a bush.
I had no problem finding my arrow covered with bubbly blood, then I started looking for blood.
And here is my problem, I checked with my hands the area where she was standing - no blood. Went Zig-Zagging along the fence - no blood.
Found a spot where she probably jumped the fence, check all little bushes, fence post, barbed wire - no blood. Crossed the fence into narrow trail in the bush, checked the leave s and branches - no blood, fortunately this trail was only 10 yds long and there was opening with my doe laying down in a puddle of blood, mostly from her mouth.
The Slick Trick definitely did its job both entry and especialy exit wounds were pretty impressive, but no blood running down the doe body, and since I was shooting kneeling down and the deer was on a higher ground the entry wound was fairly low (3 inches lower then I wanted it to hit) and exit wound was dead centre of its opposit side.

Finally, here's my point, it was my first bow kill, and I don't have experience blood trailing, but from what I read, the blood should be pouring from both holes and on grass field should be pretty visible.
I thought to myself that had I shot the deer in in a bush or high swamp grass, it would take me long time to find her, if at all.
If any of the members would comment on this situation, it would be greatly appreciated as I still have one tag left, and I'm concerned that next time I may not get that lucky.
