aww crap
 

so i went out tonight to get a doe so id have a buck tag for gun opener this weekend and got my chance. walked right in at 15 yards iput the arrow right behind her shoulder. jumped straight up and took off. waited 20 minutes got down checked the arrow. completely covered in blood. snuck out to my car waited an hour. went back to the arrow started looking and cant find a single drop more than 2 feet past the arrow. i looked right where shew was standing and walked down looking the path she ran off in. nothing. me and some guys are going out in a few minutes to look some more but this sucks. any suggestions? the blood wasnt bubbly. but i swear the arrow was a perfect shot. would heart blood not be bubbly? thanks for any help. i wont stop til i find her.

RE: aww crap
 

idk about all of the blood part but........GOOD LUCK MAN!!! YOU'LL FIND HER!!!!!

RE: aww crap
 

If it was a good shot you'll find her the hole prolly plugged, when the pressure builds and it runs it will start pouring out. good luck!

RE: aww crap
 

yup got plugged what heads you using?

RE: aww crap
 

well just got back. found blood about 30 yards from point of impact where i saw her running. followed it til we couldnt follow it anymore. it ran about 50 yards through pines with honeysuckles then went into a feild where it started to make a circle and we couldnt find any blood then. and its midnight and we all have to work in 5 hours.so ill go out again tomorrow after workto look. the whole blood trails been pretty weak except for one spot with a decent pile of foamy blood. im using 100g g5 montecs. not very pleased. but when i find the deer maybe ill find that my shot wasnt as good as i thought.

RE: aww crap
 

black is my stand.
blue is the trail she walked up.
green is point of impact.
yellow is the way i saw her run after shot.
red is blood spots.
the big red one is where it was all foamy and a decent amount of blood, id say close to 2 cups.

RE: aww crap
 

looked for 2 hours and got 10 feet further tonight. ill go out again tomorrow in the daylight.

RE: aww crap
 

good luck man! youll find her!!

RE: aww crap
 

have you found her

RE: aww crap
 

Pile of foamy blood? Thats a dead deer!

RE: aww crap
 

still havent found her. going out to look again real soon, im hoping the cool temps we've had will keep the meat good. any tips on tracking 2 day old blood?

RE: aww crap
 

Make sure she did not back track on her own trail and then veer off another way. Best of luck bud.

so i looked some more right when it started raining. thwe blood trail i know mostly dissapeared. i went to the last known blood and walked in bigger and bigger half circles out to 50 yards and nothing. i dont know whatelse i can do. any suggestions?

RE: aww crap
 

From the looks of your map - i'd say she button-hooked back into the bush. She may have been heading back to the area yo shot her in. I'd look just inside the edge of the bush. My thoughts anyways.

RE: aww crap
 

If you take a look at the last place you spotted blood, the little hook, look nearly straight ahead at the woodline and slightly left. It looks like there is a trail or logging road that cuts through the woods. I would check it out.
