    By you're tone, I'm assuming you found all but the 3" with the broadhead on it? That sucks Tony. Shoulder?

    Good sycamore. Take your time, you have ALL day. Anything appears out of the ordinary and tells your brain to stop...stop and back out for 2 to 3 hours. Post a pic of the arrow if you find it. Where did you hit the buck?

    Looks like you have some stomach fluid stuff going on. DO NOT track now. Back out.

    If you poked anything good then he is filling up with blood right now. No exit wound unless the shot came in low then you might get some dribble. I HOPE you hit something vital.

    absolutely wait......AT LEAST 8 hours..


    i know it sucks, but if you bump him, you will never find him. if you wait...there is a very very good chance you will find him dead not to far away


    WAIT
