    Not a bad Idea. If one was to do this make sure the posters wind Is not blowing where this buck Is laying.

    Good luck!!!

    good luck in finding him, letting him bed down is always the best solution.

    Let him bed down when you go back if he is not there look for his water source gut shot deer always look for water and will follow thier regular trail to it .
    Good luck

    You'll find him. I know now how it feels to see an arrow hit where you weren't aiming. It's not a great feeling. Good luck to you!

    Good luck when you get out there, hopefully he didn't get back up and nothing else found him first. Slow and steady wins the race, well done on the patience.

    Hey wiaxle no matter what atleast you didn't give up and you have enough respect for the deer to keep going.
    That's a true hunter!
