last bit of advice, a wounded deer will also head INTO wind..if you can remember which way wind was blowing,thats big help..

Most often down hill also, and with gut shots very often near (or even in) water.

Thanks for being honst and this is a good reminder to all of us. When my bud and I were on that hog hunt in La awhile back, he had a nice shot on maybe a 200 lb hog. Missed it clean at 20-25 yds. There was one little stinkin vine kinda in the shot, but couldn't see it thru scope. We actually found where b-head had cut it and that thing wasn't much bigger than a pencil lead.

Good luck on finding your deer, and I feel confidant saying it's not just your worse nightmare, but all of ours.
