Good luck Greg. I'm convinced he's dead, but I wasn't there. I'm sure you are doing the right thing. Let us know when you find him. Can't wait to see the pics!

Guys, thanks for all the input and confidence. Even in a situation such as this, I remain optimistic and confident that I will find and recover this deer.

I decided to wait until morning to search. It is killing me to do so, but I think it's the right thing to do. As most of you know, the biggest mistake one can make in tracking a marginally hit deer, is to push too soon. I know, I've done it. As most of you also know, if you do push too soon, the deer is usually not recovered. This deer is dangerously close to the property line and a large cornfield. I thought it'd be best to let him bed near the creek and hopefully find him there in the morning and not have to search a huge cornfield.

BTW, big Duane's comment didn't bother me as I thought it was humerous. He probably didn't know any better.;)

Thanks for all the support!

When I find it, I'll report back.
One thing in this post stands out to me.....

"WHEN I find it"........Love that attitude!!! All to often I hear "IF" or "I HOPE".............You'll get him bud.....Good call.
