Well guys tonite i got one :) 6:30pm 20 yrds quartering away... THUNK! however when i first shot because of the way he ran (holding his one leg and not putting weight on it) off i thought i must have shot right under him and hit his leg... i was kinda pissed and called a few ppl and got some advice... i waited about 15 min and then got down and looked for my arrow... it took me another 15 min to find it... the broadhead was destroyed (i had heard a good solid bone hit when i shot, im thinking its opposite side shoulder) and there was a good amount of blood on the arrow... i trailed for approx 100 yrds (HEAVY BLOOD) and then lost it... i called a buddy and he came and together we trailed it another 80 to 100 yrds and lost the trail again... im 100% sure the deer is dead right in that area (like within 25 yrds) but we quit for the night a few min ago... im gonna go out and look at first light...

Im sure i did a good shot cause we were finding bright red foamy blood and as far as i know legs dont bleed foamy blood only lungs do :) hopefully i can post some kill pics early tommorow ;)

the thing that messes me up a bit is im leaving for PA at 9:30 tommorow morn so i need to go out as soon as it gets light that way i have plenty of time to get him...

 

Oh BTW it was a nice 6pt

Sounds like a single lung hit that also took out the opposite front leg. I have a bad feeling about this deer not being found.

Good luck, and hope you find it before your trip.

I personally wouldn't have shot it knowing I can't dedicate enough time to search for it.

Nice Joe! Get back out at first light and do your best to find him. I think you hit lung but also caught the opposite leg. You can be out there early tomorrow and just concentrate on finding the deer and not 9:30. If you start at 6:30-7 that gives you almost two and a half hours. Plenty of time my friend. Good luck!

Well well well..................... Score is Deer 1, me 0, these animals are FAR tougher than i give them credit for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went out to start trailing and found him standing in the edge of the field approx 100 yrds from where we lost the trail last night... i got within 50 yrds of him and am 100% sure its the same deer.... all i can say is he is gonna be impossible to kill next yr cause he is gonna be so smart :)

anything cut with a razorblade is going to leave a lot of blood before it stops bleeding........anyone who has ever given themselves a pretty good cut with a knife or razor can attest to this......these cuts are not life threatening, but if you walked 100-200 yards before you put any type of dressing, you too would leave a pretty good bloodtrail...........
