    Prolly close to 110 ...had a doe come in givin the time of year she got the pass not 2 min later I stood up to take a piss and here he comes nose to the ground. I got him to stop 32 yds broadside and let it fly. I hit him a little low he hit the ground got up and made a B line and stopped at 50 yds and bedded. After an hour or so he got up and moved so I climbed down to find the tail end of my arrow maybe 2 ins or so I followed a steady blood trail of droplets passing at least three areas were he had bedded. At about 100 yds droplets turned into gushing after I saw this last bed I decided to come back in the am. I don't believe I jumped him at all he just seemed to walk 30 or so yds and bed then repeat? I believe I have a dead deer at the last bed there were little bubbles and internal tissue.

    Second pic is his first bed
    Third pic is the last one I stopped at

    your arrow may have hit a some leg muscle making it hard for him to walk, but I believe you hit some of the good stuff too. good luck.

    Nice blood in the pics. Probably couldn't have gone much further after losing that much. Good shooting and good luck searching.

    Well I searched from 8-1 found 3 more beds the blood stayed think up til the end even had little bubbles in it but after the last bed I was only able to follow it for 20 or so yds did I 50 YD circle grid search I covered a lot of ground.... nothing. It's a bad feeling esp because I still think this deer is dead. This is the first deer I have lost and it sucks
