shot 4 point cannot find him.
 

i shot my first buck with a bow and cannot find him we searched for 2 hours had real good blood and then it thened out. i shot the buck 5 yards quarting away hit him a little bit high just above the lungs it paralyzed him. stuck another in him. he got up and hobbled off to the big woods. waited till a hour then called my dad and friends. tracked had good blood then it went out. i am depressed. i grunted this buck up with a rod benson call. now lets hear the you suck , you just wounded a animal, you should had a better shot on him.lets hear it.

go deep hunt hard.;)

Bobcat, where did your second shot hit him? How far did you track him before you ran out of blood? You may have really gotten his adrenaline going, and he ran an extra long ways.

RE: shot 4 point cannot find him.
 

wright behind the lungs. track him 800 yards.

go deep hunt hard.;)

RE: shot 4 point cannot find him.
 

Right behind the lungs, as in, you missed the lungs and got guts?

RE: shot 4 point cannot find him.
 

not that far back.

RE: shot 4 point cannot find him.
 

Bobcat, I am gonna guess that if you didnt get guts, that you got the liver. A deer can go a long ways on a liver hit. Hopefully you werent pushing him while you were tracking, and you will find him in the morning. By morning he will have had plenty of time to lay down and die. Good luck finding him tomorrow.

I' m with Kip on this one good luck in the morning.

you suck , you just wounded a animal, you should had a better shot on him.;) JUST KIDDIN #10. I' d say liver sounds about right. Was he on a deer trail in the big woods when ya lost him? If so, try following it and any others in the area for a bit. You might pick up some more blood. Don' t give up the search yet. Good luck in the A.M.

RE: shot 4 point cannot find him.
 

get out there and find him, bro. is it private land? cant get lost right? you should be serching right now. that would suck to loose a deer, specialy a buck.

RE: shot 4 point cannot find him.
 

Don' t give up man. The light of day will help alot.

good luck

RE: shot 4 point cannot find him.
 

Good luck finding him. Was he heading toward water by any chance after the hit???

RE: shot 4 point cannot find him.
 

GET THEM HOUNDS OF YOURS OUT THEY WILL FIND HIM

RE: shot 4 point cannot find him.
 

Yep. Like cardeer I' d really be thinkin about water especially if it was a liver hit. Is it hilly terain? If so you know it' s almost allways gonna go down hill. I don' t know if your using markers or not but they sure do help. Sometimes you can just look at the markers behind you to get good idea of the direction he' s gone in front of you. Don' t just look for a blood trail look for fresh tracks too. Fresh droppings are a good possibility too, sometimes they take a dump right after a hit.

Good luck.

RE: shot 4 point cannot find him.
 

Can you give more details regarding his reaction to the shot and color of blood that you found? Was it on both sides of the direction of travel?
Good luck finding him.

RE: shot 4 point cannot find him.
 

Find him yet?

RE: shot 4 point cannot find him.
 

keep us posted

RE: shot 4 point cannot find him.
 

Bobcat , i really hope you find him, even if the meat has spoiled, you' ll have the rack....the other critters will eat the meat....so it' s not a total loss.....
i think it was 2 weeks ago, i was saying , i don' t understand how you can lose a critter....the next hunt, i was taught how it happened first hand.....almost gave up bow hunting because of it, but i was talked out of it.....i' m just going to take my loss as a learning lesson and do everything in my power not to let it happen again.....please keep us posted....

RE: shot 4 point cannot find him.
 

Now I read all the posts and got interested , I' m waiting for the update.

RE: shot 4 point cannot find him.
 

Any Luck?

RE: shot 4 point cannot find him.
 

bad news i did not find my deer. i searced for hours with friends and i even took my little rat terrier. nothing.this realy sucks my second deer with a bow and he gets away.we got on the blood and tracked to the same spot where it stoped and found no more and we made a big round thru this woods. searching we was looking in brush piles anywhere it was thick. the buck did not go over this big hill he went on the side travelin the thick stuff,, no luck. i did the best i can to try to find him.my rat terrier barked and was baying something. i said listen hear guys she has found my deer. so went to see what she was baying,guess what it was a dangum possum. i am realy down wright now , but i will head out in the morning and try to kill me another buck. wish me luck.

I' m not ragging on you but it seems that if more people would wait for a broadside shot, instead of trying the shots you see on TV, you would recover more deer.
