    In a perfect world the best thing to do is come back at first light. That is up to you if you can do that. The more the mull around the greater the chance of bumping your deer. You have to decide.

    You looked everywhere for that arrow? I think it might still be in your deer. Which kinda sucks cause if you didn't get a cleab pass through, blood might be sparse.

    Which is another reason he should wait till sun up IMO. And if he bumps the deer its gone.

    I know the exact feeling too... Still shaking? It's hard, but you did right getting out of the woods.

    Can't wait to check this thread tomorrow!

    I know its hard, but after that arrow strikes you gotta watch the deer as long as possible pick out trees, rocks, bushes, etc that you'll be able to pick up once on the ground. I always wait @ 30 min even if I see it go down. While your waiting burn that view in your head when you climb down its gonna look a lot different
