sad news, lost the trail and after many hours of looking I had to give up, I searched a huge valley, over 2 ridges and the bottom of a steep ravine. no idea what happened to him. first deer I've lost in 15 years. pretty bummed out. gonna punch my tag and call it an archery season
It happens Ryan and I know how you feel. It sucks to say the least. I once found one that I had thought was lost by finding the nearest water source from last blood. I knew he was hit a little far back and the blood was bright red so it was a liver shot. They burn up when hit in the liver and head for water. I found him laying half submerged.
I commend you for wanting to punch your tag and be done but don't let it get you down too bad.
