    If thats a one lung hit, that is probably the worst deer to track. Very little blood and it can take a long time for the deer to die. I'd rather track a gut shot deer.

    Good luck man. I'm pulling for you.

    I've tracked and successfully found 1 lung hit deer from anywhere between 100-400 yards. I really hope you find that buck Fitz, I have faith you will. I will be checking this thread all morning tomorrow.

    I wish every hunter had that mentality when it comes to tracking deer.

    Good luck Fitz. The whole site is waiting and hoping.
