I'd leave this deer as long as you can. A high hit can be a tough track. Go out in the AM Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better for the deer if it is indeed a high shot.......IMO Edit to add: High above the lungs or high mid-body or further back?

I'll tell you something, I don't recall how long I've been using one but it has to be better 10-11 years and they've (had two of them on two different bows) been flawless. This fall I've noticed myself really bumping it hard, getting it tangled in brush and just abusing it bad and the they've never let me down.

I have one on my 3D bow and just put a 3 pin HHA adjustable on my synergy this year. I love it ,it's the best of both worlds ,20,30,40 for hunting and can be adjusted out to 80 yards for practice or just screwing around. I can't imagine using anything different . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres no telling if its a kill shot or not. Since it did lay down that is a good sign. Couldve clipped top of lungs or artery and be dead or went into backstrap and not be a kill shot. If it was gut shot that is certainly a dead deer but it will take a while. Good luck. but just a tip - if you ever hit one again and are unsure its best to walk away for the night or if in the am for at least 3-4 hours. Sometimes when you shoot one they dont even know where it came from or what is wrong and wont go far at all. I dont even check shot area for at least an hour, then be real quiet and inspect the shot area , if its a blood red trail go look further , if not quietly get out of there and wait. If you push, adrenaline takes hold and they will go - its amazing how tough deer are! Sure hope you got em! We need more entries in that harvest thread!! Let us know how you did. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpStateRedNeck Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Last day of bow for me, completely still, 32 degrees, in a spot that's been really active all week. Kicked something up on the way in, hoping it was just mama and 2 kids I've seen around this area the whole year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah when I hit him, he didn’t immediately run away. I should have waited, since there were doe around him that didn’t run away either. Went back this morning to where I left off, couldn’t find anything else, will try again after work this afternoon... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HFBPA889 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) Light drizzle stopped in Niagara County. Had a shooter walk by me just out of range in the thick stuff. My wind was good. Hit the call and he stopped but immediately walked away from me. Tickled the horns...nada. Had a smaller buck walk the same trail yesterday...he was also call shy. May need to move tree stand 30 yards closer...then they'll walk past my current setup... lol. Edited November 13, 2017 by HFBPA889 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
