I have seen liver hit deer backtrack. You may want to double check in areas where you are sure the deer will not be.

The dark blood sounds like liver for sure. I really find it hard to believe she went 300 yards, like I said before, a liver shot deer will bleed a ton. How far (how big of an area) did you search after last blood? What are your temps like, will she keep over night? I am sure she is down, just a matter of finding her. I know, so much easy to say than do, but you have to give another shot. Try getting some extra eyes out there to help you look, I am sure she is down. Good luck!!!!

Don't beat yourself up over it. Keep looking, because she is down somewhere. I put a bad shot on my very first buck that gave me a shot opportunity last week. I hit him in the shoulder, and I was shooting the Rage's. I guess shoulder shots aren't their specialty. I tracked mine for quite some time, until we could hardly see with a flashlight and ran out of blood. I figured he was down somewhere, so I let him go overnight.

Just my luck, it rained. No blood trail anymore. My uncle and grandpa went out that morning while I was at school. I skipped my second class to try to comb through the area to look for him. I looked through the area for almost 5 hours, and I even asked the neighbor if I could check his property and I looked around there for a while, just in case he jumped the road. I only stopped because I looked everywhere possible for this deer.

Keep looking, until you know that you have put all your effort into finding your deer. If you don't find her, you at least know you tried as hard as possible to find her. You owe it to her and yourself.

Well guys I am pretty sure about a few things. I thought it was a bad shot but I tried my bow out thursday afternoon I nocked my rest of just a little bit and it was causeing my shots to shoot to the left. I never found that deer went back out still no sign that deer was gone and correction on yardage I looked on my GPS it was only 142 from shoot to last blood. Well thanks for your help. My rest is fixed know.

In all honesty, it's information you should have kept to yourself.
