Not to sound discouraging, but the 2 deer I have harvested with liver shots all died within 20 seconds and 40 yards of the initial shot. Granted it was only two deer though.

Good luck

wait until tomorrow...time time time...liver, i like to wait 8-12 which may be over kill to some...but will not bump the deer...give her over night and i will hope to see a pic with a big smile on your face

Well thanks alot guys. Yall were right. I let her lie and found her right where I bumped her last night. It wasn't the best shot but it definately got her liver. I'll post pics as soon as I can, don't have a camera except my phone and no cell service out in the sticks :). I'm proud to get my first deer on my own. It ain't easy without someone really teaching you but this site along with ArcheryTalk taught me what I needed to know.

Congrats on the find!!! And its nice to hear that you didnt just give up on finding it. I will hang around and wait on the pics.

YEAH DW!!! :rock:

glad all the advice helped you out...cannot wait to see pics...congrats on finding her and know that you did the right thing!!!

Congrats on your first, even better for not giving up. Probably hooked for good...

congrats my buddie got his first doe today also first deer with archery liver/gut shot ha what the chances

Well here she is. My buddy came over this evening and helped me skin and butcher her. He showed me all the cuts and did it all for me. I gave him some of the meat for doing me the favor and kept alot for myself.

Congrats!!!...we all learned lessons from every single deer we have killed. Good job on finding your first bow kill!

Congrats!
 

Well done, Ol' DW! Way to stick with it. Something you'll never forget.

Giving a deer time to expire is always the right thing to do.

Congrats!
