RE: Tracking Question.....
Well first off how was the deer facing when you shot him? Did you see where the arrow hit? How far away was the shot? It does sound like a leathel hit With the deer bedding down 4 diffrent times and a losing a good amount of blood. (IMO) I think if you go back to where you left off this morning and resume trailing him very slow! You will be able to find your deer not far from where you left off last night. It Being a pass through will no doubt be losing more blood. There has been a couple of other hunters that has had very similar shots and was able to find there deer with persistence! If you cannot pick up the trail? Try taking some friends with you help look! This deer is moe than likely down! Try looking around any water sources and very thick places. If you can give more info on the shot and angle of the deer. This might help? There has been some very good info comming from other hunters on this forum. On locating deer. IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE LOOKED FAR ENUFF! GO A LITTLE FURTHER! Good luck.
