RE: Got a deer...need help...
Check the nearest sources of water. When one gets hit, if it doesn't drop quickly, it will eventually head for water. I'm sure the wound probably stings, so the deer will try to cool it by laying down in shallow water or mud. An old man gave me this advice a long time ago when we were helping another hunter find a deer. Sure enough, the deer was within a hundred feet of water. Its worked many times since.
