Not being a bow hunter a friend just called and said he hit a good buck. Blood is red and pinkish. Sounds to me like a lung shot. How long should you wait before you8 track it.

Hey Karen - I did a 30 second Google search in his home state and there are archery seasons ongoing currently for anyone who wanted to actually check before calling someone a poacher. So I'm gonna make a wild guess he is legal and wouldn't make a post like this. Get out of your small little bubble. https://www.eregulations.com/california/hunting/deer-hunting-seasons

For the OP, general rule of thumb is if you didn't see it go down wait a minimum 1 hour on a "good" hit. 2+ on a marginal or little blood trail hit. At least that's what I've always done. California in July I might make an exception though if I thought I could lose it to spoilage.
They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

My apologies Rick, not “this place”, but rather some of the members

So we have someone not caring if someone is poaching, the other accusing someone of poaching then getting mad about being incorrect. All from a guy asking advice on how long to wait on a lung shot deer.
Congrats guys....

Thanks, it is the California A season Op - was he able to recover the deer? We have summer management permit season in VA for does. It’s a tough balance of wait time after the shot, field dressing and extraction, cooling the carcass and transport - before any spoil sets in. Foxes and coyotes make leaving the deer overnight a non-option if you plan on recovering more than bones.

Congrats guys.... Go fuuck yourself you sanctimonious piece of shyt. People have been poaching around here my whole life and there's always still plenty of deer around come season. I sure as hell don't GAF about poachers on the other side of the Country.

If I were certain I double lunged the deer, I'd lower my bow, pack up my stuff and go get it. The deer is going to live 5-10 seconds. I generally either see or hear almost all my double lung shot deer drop. July in California ??? It'll probably start to spoil in about the same amount of time. LOL !!!

What a shiit show. Was the deer recovered, how long did you wait?. It’s hard unless you see em pile up, which ain’t very often in this country, if I don’t see em drop, I’ll wait a hour. Meat ain’t gonna sour in a hour.👊🏻
Hope your pard recovered the buck and had a great hunt! 👍

I certainly didn't know, and neither did a lot of other people. Doesn't make us asswholes. Stick your self-righteousness up your ass.
