Congrats but don't go yet...  that deer could be dead but if not he's gone.  Why not wait?  Go get breakfast and coffee, watch the news and go back in 4 or 5 hours.  

It's raining and I can't find first blood past the arrow 

Jut found first

Out of anybody here you know the shot the best. How it looked and felt. If you think you need to track it go slow. Like you are still hunting slow. If you can wait it out give him another hour or 2. It's a hard wait.  If the shot was a little back and hit the lungs and guts you most likely got the liver too. Dead deer just don't push it.

Up late this morning and in the woods around 7. Walking to the intended spot I heard turkeys roosted in a ridge about 100 yards away. Walked to what I presumed was the likely flydown spot. Spotted them with binos and waited. They eventually flydown 90 ° to me across a creek and on to adjacent private. Gave a quick chase for the unlikely chance they came back on my land. No dice and long gone over next ridge. Very exciting and first time for me.

Back in initial intended spot. Light Southwest wind, overcast and Misty in 3g. Good luck to all.

Even more so, that's why you wait.  If not pushed he will bed within 100 yards, with no blood you'll still find him.  If he's pushed and travels 500 yards it'll nearly be impossible.

Super thick you could lose a lot in here...I'm backing out for a bit tho

and yeah no doubt dead deer just a doubt about recovery

I think you are doing the right thing waiting. You've made great choices every step of the way. Your patience will be rewarded. That's a dead deer imo and likely did not go far. Good luck, hang in there.

Sometimes people forget that hunting in the rain isn’t just about hunter comfort or deer movement, but use caution with archery.

Broadheads cut. They bleed and too much rain and a less than stellar hit can result in a lost blood trail and deer.

So don’t beat yourself up too much guys.

Snowing pretty good here on the hill now, had a 5 minute stare down with a doe at 8 she got within 10 yrds stomping and the whole bit she finally blew turned and trotted off. If this was a doe zone I would have filled my other Doe tag. Plan to sit till 10 then go dry my clothes for a afternoon watch. Good luck everyone

If there is a hardware store or super markey close by go grab a spray bottle and some hydrogen peroxide.  Work amazing even when the blood is washed out a bit. It will bubble right up.

      Broome county / Deposit ny
      By Francesco B
      Hello everyone I’m currently looking at a house in deposit ny I’ve been deer hunting for many year mainly in Columbia and Greene county never been to Broome county. Before anything I was just curious how is the hunting there ? I know there aren’t any antlered restrictions in Broome but are there monsters out there or is it mainly just small spike? If anyone from that county or knows about deposit and broome county would get back to me i would appreciate it. Hope everyone hunting today catch a big one thanks.

      What are the best steps carry a bow on your back?
      By Ainsley Ash
      The procedure below to carry the bow is detailed below:
      You have to use a cotton towel or something similar. You have to wrap it around the bowstring. Doing so ensures that it will not cause an injury with the bowstring coming in contact with your body. It will not be that sharp either. Once you cover the bowstring with the towel, you have to wear it like a sling. So that it will not fall away from your body. The best way to cover the bowstring is to use a large enough towel. You can wrap it around twice as well. When making a sling out of the cotton towel, you have to ensure that you tighten it to get a snug fit. In that case, it will not slip away. Consequently, it will remain in place. When using this technique to carry a bow on your back, it is essential to practice before going in the wilderness. Only when you can move briskly and without noise using the scanning mechanism should you go ahead with it. To remove the bow, you have to hold it at the bottom. After that, you have to slip it over your head as well as arm. Doing so ensures that you can remove it quickly. When trying to focus on a prey, you need to remove the bow quickly. The technique for removal that we have highlighted above can certainly help you do so.

      A Hunter's Obligation to Know the Rules
      By JDN2K
      Just want to relay an experience I had this weekend regarding hunting regulations and other hunters.
      I've had several  hunter's tell me last weekend(10/12/2020) that muzzleloader was open, it is not. I also had two other hunters last weekend confront me as to why my son was carrying around a rifle and hunting deer. I calmly explained the youth weekend and the rules around it. After that everything was cool and we continued our hunt.
      I know at the end of the day we're all trying to participate in a sport we love and maybe harvest some game. My thought is to just make sure you're up on your local hunting regulations. Not just so you are within the rules, but also so you can assert your right to be where you are, hunting the way you're hunting.
      I know when I have been operating outside of the regulations I have appreciated a person respectfully correcting my ignorance and I try to pay it forward by being informed and respectfully educating when required.
      Thanks for listening, off my SB...

      Bolt Action with Pistol Grip
      By Alfredo
      Hello,
      I am in the process of purchasing my first rifle to go hunting deer for the first time.  However, I have received contradicting information regarding the types of rifles that are legal.  Based on what I have read, it appears that I am able to use a bolt-action rifle with a pistol grip and a detachable magazine which holds 10 rounds.  However, I have been told that this is not the case. I can't seem to find where this is stated.  Can any one here provide me with some insight into this? I'd really appreciate it.
      Thanks in Advanced,
      Alfredo
