Okay, it's looking more promising than I expected. The first 20 yards was just drops and now we found this:

Leaving in a few minutes to get out for an afternoon sit before the storms hit. Not feeling well, but my wife asked if I would like to go out tonight... How can you say no to that? Have a car ride, kayak trip, and then mile walk to get in a good spot. Hoping it is worth the effort.
All set for my evening it's hot but the clouds rolled in and there is a strong breeze, hopefully they get moving before the rain Sent from my SM-G930P using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
Good luck LittleChief! So far it's looking good! Wow I can't believe I actually have service! Most of my sits have been very limited service. Good luck to all tonight, I'm on a random oak flat again, so many acorns, I just keep jumping from flat to flat looking for deer.
Well guys, I really hate to come on here and give bad news, but we had no luck. The blood was great at first like the pics shows. No bubbles though. Just bright red. The spots like that were obviously where he stopped and stood still for a bit. The farther we tracked the more the trail diminished. After about 250 yards there were only nickel sized drops. Then it dwindled to spots here and there. He never did stop for any length of time - no evidence that he laid down at all. We tracked him for well over a half mile. With all of the meandering he was doing it might have been a mile. We tracked him through the woods I was hunting in, across an 8 foot deep dry creek, through another patch of woods with another big dry creek, across a 40 acre soybean field with the beans still in, through another small patch of woods and then into another soybean field before there was just no blood to follow. The first bean field was easy tracking for my brother because the beans were rubbing against the wound and blood was rubbing off in the bean pod. Also, the trail was pretty visible. It disappeared in the next bean field however. It wasn't that we couldn't find blood hat was there. It just dried up. In the last patch of woods my brother was only finding tiny little specks of blood. In the last bean field we were considering pushing on but we didn't have any idea which way to go and we both felt by then that he wasn't mortally wounded. I keep replaying that encounter in my mind and I think that the arrow never made it into the vitals. I'm now thinking that he was quartering enough and the shot was deflected enough that it went in behind the front leg and skimmed along the ribs. Those ultra sharp Slick Trick blades may have just created a wound that took a long time to clot up. I don't think I need to tell you how I feel at this point. It's raining off and on now and now I have to load up the camper and make the drive home. Man, this really sucks.
