BAM- perfect hit. You literally couldnt walk up and put the arrow in a better spot. He mule kicks, hunches his back, tucks his ail and runs off.

Generally, a hunched back, and a tucked tail is not a good sign. In my experiances that denotes guts.
Hope I'm wrong, and I hope you find him. Good thing you aren't pushing him, now.

I think a hunched back is a good sign. Has been in my past experiences. Anyway Droptine, you will get him in the am.
And then just think come saturday you can hunt for another buck.
Good luck.

I had that same situation this year, a few weeks ago. I actually hit the deer in the shoulder. I gave him almost 2 hours, and began to track him. I ran out of blood late at night, so I decided to pull out for the evening and come back the next morning. It just so happened to have rained overnight, washing away all the blood I had tracked the night before. My grandfather and my uncle looked in the morning for me and did not find him, so I went out for almost 5 hours that evening combing the area. I even asked the neighbor to just look a little ways on his property, just in case he jumped the road. No deer for me. It sucks because that would have been my first deer. Make sure you go out and try as hard as you possibly can to find this deer. You owe it to him!

I'm curious, if it looked like a perfect hit and it was raining, why did you wait an hour to follow the trail? I waited about two minutes to follow my buck because I knew it was a good hit and because it was pouring.

A hunched deer means dead deer, tough trail to me. It's a gut shot deer. Do you know anyone who has a trailing dog? Reason I ask is that there maybe slim to nil blood trail, but there is a dead deer at the end of it.

Good luck DT In the morning. Remember this though- Our arrows don't always go where we swear we saw them go. I've been guilty of It a few times In the pass myself. Treat the blood trail with respect.
Good luck!!
"Do you mean the best broadhead In the world didn't take this deer down right away?? If you couldn't use the Rage you wouldn't bow hunt, remember saying that? Sorry, just giving you a hard time and having a little fun with ya!![8D][8D]"

I'm guessing you will find this buck In the morning. Lungs or guts, It's one of the 2 I'd bet.
