Greg, really sounds like the hit Matt put on. Deer died within 150 yards. Just a matter of finding him. This may sound weird but I am glad you feel this way because it means you care about the sport and its ethics. BU tremeber you are human and we all can try to stand back and say "boy I would have done that different" but until someone is in your shoes they can not judge. good luck my man you should find that Buck

Best of luck to you on the recovery Greg. I agree with the others. Sure sounds like a liver hit to me. Just recovered a buddy of mines buck lasthe shot last night in the liver. About 3 drops of blood over 200 yards and a dead buck at the end. Good luck man stay possitive.

Greg obviosly your experience is far above mine buti would just like to say that i liver shot a 6 pointer earlier this year the deer died within 60 yds and i found him within 30 mins of the shot. Obviously this a single acount but if it is a liver shot i have a feeling your deer is good and dead. I did the same thing you did, shot while the deer was walking at 15 yds. Best of luck i cant wait to the pics.

Hey man it happens. Sounds like a dead buck to me, but i agree with the masses i wouldn't leave him over night- you are just asking for him to become a coyote meal...go get your deer.
