    I am up, but the thunder and lightning and torrential downpours are keeping me from heading out yet... so I’m not “at ‘em”

    So waiting is definitely the thing to do.... it’s looking like a nice cold night there... I’d be after it at first light and if 1/2 an arrow is still in him, you will find him.

    For learning purposes.... never try and thread an arrow through some branches... always make sure you have a clear shot. You see pics where people are saying, “Awesome shot” and it was a little off as to where the shooter meant it to be... the kill zone is a pretty big area

    When you aren’t sure of the hit, back out of the woods and let the deer completely alone for a minimum of 6 hours as they will typically bed up within 100 yards and die (if they are going to die)

    Please keep us posted and good luck! I hope you find your buck!

    that blood looks like a meat hit. likely shoulder. I've seen that blood pattern way too many times. blood seems a little watery. looks very familiar and brings back bad memories. lay the remaining part of your arrow next to a full arrow take a pic and show us the difference. you may get lucky? I'm rooting for you!

    I agree, that blood looks a bit watery. Not a good sign. Good luck on the track though.

    Got up to go to the gym, walked the dog, blew a deer out the front door.

    Driving to the gym, 2 deer at the side of the road.

    Hmm, maybe I should hunt today instead of working...

    It was 1 degree above freezing when I shot so I’m hoping that it’s just melting snow

    Still 15min till daylight and we have half inch of fresh snow so it’s gonna be a fight to follow the trail...:/
