razortec_hunter Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 ok today at 430 PM i shot a nice buck with my bow while still hunting (the buck was 20 yards), it was quartering away and it looked like i made a perfect shot i mean dead on. 2 hours later we start tracking we find blood everywhere and then we found one huge blood patch all the blood is frothy and bubbly so i know it's lung shot. BUT i followed the trail 345 yards down the edge of a cut bean field and then he jumped a fence back on to our property (i shot it on my neighbors) and then right after that fence jump there was a little patch of blood and now we cant find blood ANYWHERE!!! and trust me we looked. so where do u spose the deer went??????? i mean it was all lung blood BUT he went almost 400 yards!?!?!? how can a deer go 400 yards with an arrow through his lungs. i do have to say it wasn't a passthough the arrow IS still in the buck where ever he may be. i shot this buck 5 yards from where i took a shot at my doe 9 days earlier and missed. SO where do u think my buck went???? and i REALLY want to find it in the morning cuz 1 this will be my first "buck" (i have killed a doe though but not a buck) by bow AND 2 it's a nice buck. so please help me!!!!!!!!

wtnhunt Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 oh crap so they will jump in the water????? Follow buckee's advice in your other thread. They may jump in the water, but I hunt along a river here, and have shot deer close to the water many times and never had one go directly towards the water, matter of fact seems often times they run parallel to it.

bwlacy Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Follow the advice from the bowhunting forum. If at all possible use a dog to find him. If it's legal where you are. We have used a dog on a couple deer over the years to track one down that had gone a long ways. Be persistent and you should find him. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodge4x4 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 dunno what to tell ya bud! we've had a couple of them before. . . one with a shotgun. we tracked him for a good 3/4 -1 mile all the way to a gully on the neighbors property and the trail just suddenly stopped and we never did fine 'em.

Bowtech_archer07 Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 That stinks. Like everyone said, he took the path of least resistance, probably toward water. When my dad shot a deer a few years ago, I circled ahead toward water and found blood. He might be in the lake, he might be on the edge somewhere. Hope you at least get the rack off of him.
