lil hunter Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Did you get out and look for blood or anything? If not, you need to aas soon as possible. You can't just assume you missed because the deer ran off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must check for blood after shooting The shot might not have instantly killed the deer if you hit it, but it could have hit it and it might have ran off and bedded down somewhere nearby.

rossman Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Re: i think i missed If you couldn't find his tracks or where he was running. Then how do you know you were looking for blood in the right place? With a hard frost it should be easier to find his tracks, where he was standing when you shot. Since, you had a gun, you could go look right after you shot, so the frost does not have time to melt. I don't know but it seems to me that you didn't look in the right place if you couldn't find his tracks. Anyway, sorry you missed, it happens to the best of us. Just, don't lose your confidence!!!! --Rossman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
