Looked for four more hours yesterday and didnt have any luck. Ive been all over the property. Spent around 24 hours looking for the buck, so i figure he's still alive and my shot placement wasnt a good lung hit. Im going to put a cuddeback at the pinch point i took the shot at. Hopefully i will get a pic of the buck and know he survived for sure.

This is my set up; g5 montec 100gr broadhead, carbon express maxima arrows, mathews dxt set on 70lbs, shootin 310 fps. I've been day dreaming bout his antlers all week, cant wait to go find him. I've got 5 ppl that are going to help search tomorrow. Hopefully if everything goes as planned i'll have a pic of him on here tomorrow. Wish me luck! Really regret takin the shot now. Its definitely better to let him walk and hope for a second encounter. Letting everything walk last year and so far this year hoping for a opportunity on a buck of this caliber maybe made me take the bad shot. We live and we learn. Hopefully somebody can learn for this forum, and not the hard way...like i did

I looked for him more this morning and had no luck. Saturday is the next day i can look for him and i plan on a big all day search wit some help. Hope i can find him and show u guys a pic. Thanks for all the replys and im gonna need all the luck i can get.

I was thinkin the same thing, so i walked the whole creek to where it starts, up n down both side lookin for blood. Grid searched a lot of the pines that are on both sides of the creek. Definitely a lesson learned

We waited 2 hours and tracked him 100 yards to where he went in the pines. Came back at daylight and found the blood trail comin out other side of pines prolly 200 yards from where he went in. He came out of pines went down 4whlr trail prolly 50 yrds to creek and went down middle of the creek. The same creek i grunted him out of b4 the shot, he made a circle after the shot. The last blood i found was 150 yrds up the creek from where i shot him at.

did he find his deer? how far did the deer go after the shot?

Sunday evening i took a bad shot on a huge buck and cant find him! He walked a stright line to my stand and i took the shot wit him facing me head down at 5 steps. Missed spine n guess i got one lung. Got pass threw, arrow was soaked and got really good blood trail for 100 yrds then he entered planded pines that r thick n bout 15' tall, found where he came out other side of pines bout 200yrds and he went to creek n turned went right down a knee high creek. Last found blood is right in middle of creek on big vine that crosses creek bout 10'' over water. Have looked for him for 16 hours! He will score over 150'' easy! Any good ideas for finding him? Could he survive a single lung shot?
