TCFORLIFE Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 I had a first tonight. First deer of the season to come in and he walks right under my stand from behind me and walks out in front of me and turns broad side at 13 yards, no problem breaking the ice with a small deer. Let my arrow go and watch it drill the deer and it turns and runs out to the field that has not been cut for months. I wait a couple of minutes before getting down to find my arrow and retrieve it no problems, it's coated with blood. Start trailing and the blood trail is not good, well one good friend to help and 200 yards later we find my deer. Entry was a tad high and exit was great except for the piece of lung that was pushed through the exit hole and blocking the blood. Tough to recover but glad we were able to find it.

arrow32 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Good luck in the morning. Those ones can be hard to find. If nothing else just make some circles and slowly make them bigger as you walk. You'll find her if she's dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 well ummm yeah happened to me Sunday night well we didn't find the deer. Hoping I hit shoulder and she's ok. Never did find a lot of blood. Just little drops where she crossed the fence and was brushing up against the soybeans. Last year I shot a doe and hit her a little high. She stood underneath me for about 10 minutes just looking at her fawn, then trotted off and bedded down. 15 minutes later a little buck came over and kicked her and ran her off leaving no blood trail. We never found that one either. Prior to that I can't remember the last deer I lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 It sucks to hit them high. I've hit one high before and I never did find the thing either. Had very little blood out of the shot as well. We tracked the thing for about 650 yards I'd say with pretty much no blood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 I've lost deer before as well, it sucks bad.... What about that doe 2 years ago, in the rain? Oh yeah! Yep. Down at Michael's. Remember that one now. I'm trying to remember if I've ever lost a buck. Only one I can remember is one way back in 1988. Brisket hit a little 8 pt. I'm sure Tom will think of another one though.

Turkeygirl Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 It all happens to us but you also owe it to the animal to make sure you are well practiced and confident in your shot for next time so it does not happen again. Sure there are lots of deer out there...no excuse for not trying to be a better shot next time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Shooter Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Did this on opening week with the buck I killed. Broadside 24 yards shot, hit a little high by perfect shot placement but double lung him. Blood spatter were the arrow came out and not a drop of blood from there. He only went about 50-60 yards and piled up, no blood even coming from his mouth were he laid. His lungs had holes through both of them and chest cavity was completely full of blood. I had a Doe go about 250 yards that was double lung and bleed the whole way with no prooblem following the blood trail. Perfect shot but she was amped up and nervous when I shot her. If your confident in your shot, never give up on trailing them because if you've hit them good they will be down. doesn't matter how many deer are still out there. You owe it to the animal to make a strong effort of recovering them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnf Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 I hit two high last year. The first one bedded down about 400 yard from where I hit it. Someones dogs found it and I followed the barking and put a second shot in it. The second on I got lucky and hit the femoral artery and the thing left a blood trail Ray Charles could follow. She dropped in about 75 yards still in my sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
