If you hit the lungs it could have been coughing up blood.

You could of shot a hole in the deer's windpipe making it breath different.

probably coughing up blood

Under those conditions I would have waited about 30 minutes and retreived the deer. Dang coyotes will strip one out in a night around here.

Pretty hard to breath with a throat full of blood.
Hope you get him in the morning.

Awesome! Congrats!

I don't know if I could leave one in the woods like that! LOL I'd be too nervous, not to mention I wouldn't get any sleep knowing it was out there. That's the smartest thing though, let em sit for a while so as not to spook 'em up again.
