    First bed about 250 yards. She got up and is still bleeding pretty good from both sides (or so it looks to me). I'm backed out. Should I come back tonight or first thing tomorrow? I just don't want yotes to find her.

    Does any of the blood look like you hit lungs? If it was me, I would go after her tonight. I don't like leaving deer over night, especially with coyotes in the area.

    I know it's on snow but that looks pretty bright red and there seems to be alot. I say give it just a little time and go after her tonight.

    It is bright red. That last blood was fresh fresh, so I'm thinking I pushed her off of it. I'm going to split the difference and go in super early. I'm still not confident in my trailing, even in daylight.

    She was 17 yards, with a Spitfire Maxx. Maybe slight quartering toward and I aimed right in line with the front leg.

    *Change of plans. It's now supposed to snow, so I'm headed back shortly to look for her.*

    I'm back at the truck...no luck. I got back on blood that was either great or non-existent at times. She crossed the creek and headed straight up a good sized hill. I had to follow trails, after the snow disappeared, and randomly got back on blood about 65 yards away. I ended with another bed, but no exit route.

    I'll be back out in the morning...

    Got her! I don't know where she went, but she's on top of my boot tracks from last night.

    Sounds like he recovered her from his post. I will be interested to see were he actually hit.
