hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

i hit a 8 pointer tonight and thought i had a pretty good shot.he was quartering away at28yards settled the pin and hit the trigger and wack the arrow hits a little high behind the front shoulder.he takes of and i can see my fletching stuffed in tight.i lose sight of him after 50 yards so i sit tight till dark and sneek out.i gather up some help and we start tracking we find blood about 15 yards in and it looks good,keep moving forward blood still heavy he's gone about 100 yards now and i'm starting to think what the hell is going on.another 50yards and he hits a pasture fence blood all over the place.now the problem posted property!!!i can see some blood in the pasture so we decide to back out and call the owner.so i make the call he's not home his wife said he would have him call me in the morning.i'll post some of the blood trail.

I would say dead deer. Hope you find him tomorrow.

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

Nice
You should find him in the morning. He won't be far

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

Wow thats some good blood. That looks exactly like the blood when is hot my deer i shot it behind thes houlder and it came out the neck. Hope ya get your deer. Good luck and show some pictures!

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

that too me, the big puddles is blood the deer has coughed up, which in turn means lung hit but running that far you probably cought the nearest lung dead senter and then barely clipped the far one.Any way dead deer, good luck in the morning.Keep us posted

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

He'll be at the end of the blood, looks like a good hit, post some pics in the morning...

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

Got my fingers crossed for ya. just curious, did you find any air bubbles in it indicating a lung hit? Hope the land owner will give you no problems. Find him and post some pics.

I see the bubbles in the blood. At least you got one lung, but I'd say dead deer. Hope you find him.

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

With blood like that, finding your buck should be no problem at all.

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

I agree, dead deer. Hope it all works out with the landowner. Post some pics when you find him.

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

hes not far from the fence. hes lost too much blodd in that amount of yardage. Sounds and looks like you got uper lung and matbe through the opposite lung. Looks great. Great sign.

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

just recieved the phone call from the landowner,he said he doesn't like hunting but he does not want any dead deer on his farm.so i'm off to find him!!!

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

I'm thinking you are gonna find him pretty easily if he's leaking like that. Glad to hear the landowner is letting you recover it...post pics when you get back!!! Pre-congrats are in order I'm thinking!!

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

I'll be looking for pics on my lunch break.

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

It sure look's like you got him good ,I hope the owner is co-operative about the situation .Good luck and keep us posted. Congrat's by the way.

THank god the land owner was cooperative. You will find him with that kind of blood trail, he cant be far.

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

From the story and pics i would say you should find fairly easy?
Sometimes even with a good hit they can cover a lot of ground in a hurry!
(imo) You did the right thing if your not sure? best to wait and give him time. Good luck finding him!

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

good luck finding him.

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

I would get the land owner a gift certifcate or a roll of summer sausage? Just to be polite and maybe some brownie points with him.

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

every time I shoot a deer....right after I shoot, I grunt, I yell, I whistle I try everything to stop the deer from doing that death sprint. Takes his adrenaline away from the hit and takes the deer down faster.....can't wait to see some pics...

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

he's dead. you'll find him.

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

Joe, that deer is dead as a door nail... Good job and post those pics

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

lets see the pics , that deer did not go far

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

Dead Deer.. Let us know when you find him.

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

you should have found him by now :D

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

he's celebrating, driving around showing everyone his deer;)

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

Looks like a dead deer to me. If I were you, I'd take this as an opportunity to shed a nice light on hunters to this anti-hunting farmer. Perhaps give him a gift certificate for he and his wife to go out to dinner, in thanks for allowing you to retrieve the deer.

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

I have been checking this thread all day to see if you found this deer. From the pics, I can't believe he went much further. Let us now and post some pics.

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

Maby he found it and just hasn`t had time to send us a message.
I hope thats the deal anyway[&:].

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

dead deer. good luck tracking him.

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

Still checking back and waiting..................

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

Me too....the suspense...is killing me. Almost like that arrow killed that deer:D

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

He's too busy grilling backstraps.........;)

If he hasn't found that deer yet his excuse better be that someone plucked his eyes out of his head with a fork.;)

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

Man I hate sitting here waiting all day to find out.... Doesn't he know he has a responsibility to report back..... We are definitely going to have to have a talk , when he gets back on here, about his tardiness and lax attitude....

DANG IT..... WHERE IS THAT DEER???? PICS ..... WE WANT PICS !!!

Sorry , I lost it for a minute there...

God Bless

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

That deer is hammer dead. When they cough up that much blood you know there losing air fast. Post some pics of the recovery!

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

Hope he didn't run into a bear on it... Oh wait! That doesn't happen down there does it?[8D]

RE: hit one gotta wait till mornin!!
 

No Kodiak, I don't think it does..... I believe you may have the market cornered on that one...LOL....

Can't imagine being out hunting, finding a shooter, making the shot, then having to watch my back the whole way,and maybe even have to fight for my life , just to get the darn thing home.....
