Yes, go back and look for the deer. In those temperatures, the meat will be fine. Besides, it's your responsibility to make every effort to recover the deer regardless of temps.

A base of the tail (anus) going away shot placement with a properly constructed bullet, is a lethal shot placement; but a close miss just might hit the hams --- and unless you hit the femoral artery --- expect a long tracking job.

I would not even consider this shot! Chances of a long tracking job are high and it's going to be a nasty cleaning job when the bullet finishes expanding in the guts! Not to mention a lot of wasted meat if you hit the hams! Also before I get the "that's the only shot I had at a nice trophy deer," story, a bad shot is a bad shot period! Doe, runt or B&C buck!

I hope you never have and never will take either shot. |
