As for finding the deer? All you can do is look for it during the hunt. If it takes too long the critters will have found her, and it doesn't matter if you find her or not. of course if she's alive, and not hurt that bad you'll never find her.

Sorry, for taking the thread in another direction, but it was related to the topic too. I see too many times someone saying everybody loses an animal. After awhile hunters come to expect it, and that's a wrong attitude to have. Someone will not find an animal right away, and just say to themselves..........Oh well, it happens to everybody, so no big deal. It's always a big deal.

I'm not pointing this at you, but to those who give up looking too fast.
