Very hard to piece together the puzzle, from a couple pictures on a forum. And a somewhat confusing testimony. Also, many times what we "see" isn't exactly what is going on, with what the arrow did to

Go anyway. You tried, leave a note and go. Weather just going to get worse.

Who is the "she" who doesn't want to drive an hour?

I'm a bit confused how some can be so sure that this and other deer shot by members in the past few weeks are definitely "dead deer".   Most especially when hit with an arrow.  Hopefully this one is dead and gets found, but others were not or never found.  The only time I am ever 100% sure that any deer I shoot at is dead is when I walk up to it and it's not breathing.  Otherwise I will NEVER be 100% sure that it's dead.  They can be tenacious critters and can take a licking.

It was all the blood that swayed my opinion.

Plus, I was only 99.9997% sure. I did leave a margin for error.

Low single lung?  Hit on the left side?

Been there, except I was stupid and pushed him (2 miles).  If you can get a dog tomorrow you may still find him.  Grampy and Tom have a lot of experience with this, they'd know better than me how much rain it takes to wash scent out from a dog's nose.  I'll text Grampy and have him pop over from the other site where most of us moved to.

Most have said this buck is dead.  If you find him, what will you do?
