    My buck was a liver / gut hit and he never bedded ... I am thinking she was dead last night and ran till she dropped ... no bed is not a concern with a liver hit...

    The blood looks really dry and faint now. About waist high on grass. Haven't seen any drops on ground for a while.

    Could be... she may have had the encouragement of trying to keep up with the other deer.

    Gut shot, possibly plugged with intestines. This is not the end of the world. Just makes finding her a little harder. You are doing a great job. CAn you say approx how far you are from where you shot her? 100yrds?

    Arrow didn't smell horrible, but not good either, if that makes sense.

    I'm at a loss fellas!

    Tell us again how high the blood is in some places. This helps with how high your shot was.

    Is there a tree nearby from which you can get a better vantage point I have found many deer and hogs by climbing up and just taking a look. Be careful.

    Its not the guts cause the arrow doesn't stink. Its not lungs most likely. Its probably not a muscle hit. The deer is heading towards water.

    Last blood was smeared on a stick from about knee to thigh high.

    Is that still 20 yards from the creek? Like you found no further blood?
