No one here is going to be able to tell you anything that will help you to find your deer. Only you can do that, and from the sounds of things its going to take a complete miracle. You can read the thread at the top of the page so that you may know what to do the next time you hit one. I am hoping you left out some details as far as blood trail etc. and not just walked around thinking where he may go. And I hope cardeer isn't right that you aimed around the vitals instead of passing totally.
