If you shot this deer this am, then the meat is not bad yet. If you knew rain was coming or is coming - your best bet is to look for that deer before the trail is washed away. According to your story you shot at 8:00 am. It is now 11 hours later. If the arrow hit an artery that deer should be dead and close by. I'd get the lantern and be out lookin for that puppy...you owe it to that deer. I also agree with some of the others...It seems something is wrong somewhere in order to wound three deer in 1 year or your luck is extraordinarily crappy this year. Was the deer looking at you when you shot?. If he was quartering away from you and you hit him in the hip up to the fletching, you may have penetrated his stomach maybe liver also. In any event, I'd be out looking for him. Good luck on findin him! Hope your luck changes (bad things happen in three's right!)!
