    I shot a doe this morning around 9 with my gun... I hit her and she fell down and got up and walked off... later I got down and went to find blood and there was tons of white hair but no blood I followed her tracks for about 100 yards no blood so I pulled out so what did I hit and will she die... and if so when should I head back out there thanks guys

    If white hair it sounds like a low shot underneath or, possibly but less likely, the neck patch.

    No brown hair? Sounds low. She walked off like a gut shot walk off? Was she hunched? Were you shooting from an elevated stand or from the ground? Chance the bullet hit a twig or something or was it a clear shot? Shotgun or rifle?

    If she fell then you hit something hard. did you go in the direction she walked off looking for blood?

    Sounds like a low shot like everybody said. Get a lot of help when trying to find her. and dont only look for blood and tracks, look also for brocken branches and stuff like that.

    What kind of walk was it? A nothing is wrong walk? Or a hunched over, I am in pain type of walk?

    sounds like you probably shot her leg out, hence the no blood.
