    That deer is dead somewhere. Blood looks good, some bubbles which means you probably caught a lung.

    It's possible he crossed the creek are you able to get over to the other side?

    Not sure what to tell ya. Best bet is to get some buddies and grid search the area. Look it the thickest spots possible. That's where my doe ended up going.

    I woulda thought he would have stayed at the water, I walked the creek all the way up to the pond cuz that's the direction the blood trail was headed

    I'll get my friend and dog and see if we can't find him tomorrow. It's a shame though meat won't be any good. Makes me sick when deer are lost I'll never use grim reaper broadheads again not happy with the penetration
