    Tracked doe 100+ yds this morning from last night hunt. She managed to work my arrow out under a brush pile then the blood trail just stopped about 15 yds later!?!? Thoughts anyone? If anything I would think the blood trail would increase??
    Thanks Aaron

    The arrow could have pulled fat/tissue into the wound.

    Where did you hit her?
    What was her reaction?
    What's the arrow look like? (meat, fat, dark blood, bright blood, greasy)
    What does the arrow smell like?



    The more details you can give us, the better we can help :tu:
