I've been deer hunting for 6 years and this is my first deer. I never gave up and finally accomplished a long time goal..I've been hooked but now it's an addiction

i don't think I missed but not positive. I was only staying out here originally until 8:30 am. At that point I will climb down. If I find my arrow I am going to only from now on shoot at deer within 3 yards or less. If I do not find my arrow I will email my boss and say I am not coming in until I find this deer (he hunts as well so will be fine with that). If the shot is bad I know I need to wait several hours before tracking and will consider going into work and cutting out early.

All know for sure is that finally I nailed the correct height on a shot.

. I got some flack for the weekend I had but Jesus, you think you way have it a doe not sure, stayed in your stand which is the right thing to do. Give it some time. But then you drew on a buck. Seriously guy. Worry about the one you might have hit first. I spent almost 2 full days looking for the doe that I killed this weekend.... Never found her but I looked and didn't draw on another deer or even hunt until I was sure I wasent going to find her

I was one of the ones giving you flack and I agree with you 100%. The only thing worse than tracking a poorly hit deer is having two poorly hit deer to track!

You are probably right. :(

WOW,,,,,Is all i can say on some of these posts on here. Shooting deer in the ass...I Think??? Shooting another one because i did not see an arrow sticking out of this one. Good thing i am not a Mod on here. Man shit happens but lets get real with some of these things!!!

obviously I was not aiming for the deer's ass. I appear to be a poor shot in the woods but it isn't for lack of practice or accuracy on the range which is the best I can do without having live deer to target. In any case I am now on a blood trail and thankfully it is not raining.

My new spot, got the stand up at 6:46. While climbing a deer walked into the area then back out. 10 min later I loosed an arrow at a doe. Height was dead on money. However it moved as I shot I THINK (it is hard to tell) and it looked like I got it in the rear. But I am only 95% sure I even hit it. It ran off but not terribly quickly. 2 min after that from same direction comes in another doe eating but just out of range. Same one? Dunno, I don't see my arrow on the ground but the leaves cover everything. Two mornings in a row proves this spot rocks. I will report back on the deer when I get down. Only staying till 8:30.

Yea you definitely need to practice for a day or so and get your shot dialed in before attempting again ...

If you think you hit in the guts or ass DO NOT TRACK IT! give it at least 4 hrs. Trust me you cannot jump a dead deer but a mortally wounded deer will cover a lot of ground if pushed!

post-6443-14464735668976_thumb.jpgafAfter that bit of fat I saw some smattering of blood and 20 yards later my arrow--unopened (?). However blood picked up. This pic here shows bubbles which means lung, so maybe I hit lung afterall? Basically I have walked another 100 yards and blood spatter every several inches. Could this amount of blood --constant good trail--possibly happen if it was not a vital area? He red is showing up cleanly against the leaves. I am. It having to circle at all, it is an easy thing to follow.

Yes a large muscle hit will bleed more than most othe hits. Don't know what broadheads you are using but most mechanicals will close on there way out.
