What did the blood look like? Bright red Pink frothy Dark red?
Plus there has to be hair where he was standing when you hit him Did you actually read all his posts?
Its all right to be white!! Stupidity left unattended will run rampant Don't argue with stupid people, They will drag you down to their level and then win by experience

Well my brother-in-law and I went and looked for a couple of hours today. No more evidence and we covered a many a yards of ground. I’m thinking a brisket hit and got away thanks for all of y’all’s I put! Not to say I won’t keep my eyes open for buzzards.

Buck270, i hit a deer like that once, lost the blood trail after a little while. I went back to camp and got my buddy and his dog to track it. We kicked it up 3 different times but didn't have a shot. Finally on the 3rd time it charged the dog and my buddy was able to get a good shot and put it down for good. it was a nice 7 point. A good dog really helps.

No (Missed his post bright red) And him saying he didn’t find blood or hair where the deer was standing says IMO he didn’t look hard enough. There is no way you can hit a deer and not find blood or hair where deer and bullet intersect . Those first clues are crucial to understanding where you hit a deer YMMV

I shot a doe that was walking across a gravel drive one time. Not a long shot. Maybe 125 yards. I proned out to set up for the shot, and when I exhaled I fogged the scope lens. I wiped it off with my finger and got the shot off. I thought I had a good sight picture. But as I replayed the shot in my mind, I couldn't visualize where the crosshairs were when the gun went off.
I waited for an hour or so until my buds were done. When they showed up we walked down to where I pulled the trigger. About 10 feet from where the doe was when I shot, blood had sprayed all over vegetation at deer chest level where she entered the woods. Another 5 yards, same thing. Another 5 yards, same thing. The blood spray eventually stopped. We eventually found a place where she had laid down and there was a patch of drying blood. We pressed on. We eventually jumped her and she hauled ass.
I still have no idea where I hit her to get that kind of spray without a fatality.

Make sure you do the obvious and follow the path of least resistance from where you last found blood. Follow it for a good 300 yards and then go back and follow another likely route he might have taken. I have found a handful that way when there was no blood or easily to find tracks.

Anybody that gets off the couch knows some strange things happen when you pull the trigger.

You might be surprised what a house pet can find.
My redbone mix passed a couple years back. She was an excellent tracker when called upon find more than a few deer for our local hunters.
I made a shot with a bow on a doe with my kids in the stand in an urban archery hunt. Some walkers/hikers bumped the doe just after the shot and it ran through a neighborhood. Two hours later our Corgi mix, 35 pound, couch potato of a house pet lead us right to the dead deer a couple hundred yards away from the shot.

There is no way you can hit a deer and not find blood or hair where deer and bullet intersect . Those first clues are crucial to understanding where you hit a deer YMMV Not necessarily always the case... I say this because it happened to me once. No blood, hair, tissue, bodily fluids, etc., anywhere in area around where bullet impacted deer. Followed direction deer ran off in for well over a hundred yards with still no blood, hair, etc. Searched again but went further this time. Just as I was about to give up and assume I missed it I found one small drop of blood on a dry leaf on the ground right at a fence where it apparently leaped over. I crossed over fence and started finding a little more blood but still not a lot. About 50 yards or so across the fence inside a yet unharvested soybean field found deer laying dead on ground, head and back facing down hill. Entrance and exit bullet holes were both the same size. Field dressing the body cavity was literally filled with it's blood. Bullet grazed heart, took out one lung, passed through liver, and exited right behind last rib of off side. No sign of damage from bullet expanding and wounds looked just like what you'd expect a practice tip arrow would make. My best guess is either my bullet simply failed to expand or else it didn't impact anything solid / dense enough to initiate expansion. When deer finally bled out internally that's where it fell over dead.
