Took MM Hunters and IM There's advice and went back to the spot i hunted yesterday morning and got busted like 5 times I think.... Well today wasn't as action packed, and I began to think I had made a bad choice. About 8:10 saw a white flash in the thick stuff in front of me about 35 yds away. Coincidentally these deer fed through where I thought they would yesterday... Kept watching and finally saw legs and noticed two does feeding. Waited for this girl to feed out and get in one of my lanes at 10 yds or so. She mule kicked and took off.
Now for my rant of the day. I have always shot thunder head 100's and they will punch through anything really, but man the blood trails are not good a lot of the times. I hit this deer, waited 20 minutes to get down and get my arrow. I knew in the heat, I needed to get to her pretty quickly. When I got to my arrow it was covered in blood, but there was no blood on the ground. I knew where she ran, so i went that way, but never saw a drop of blood. I just followed a trail that was worn figuring if she's hurt, shes probably following it. I finally saw a small drop of blood and kept walking, never found anymore, but about 30 yds up the trail, I saw something white in the privet and knew it was her. Got to her and the flys were on her, so I got her outta there. On the way out i did find one spot on the trail that I walked to the right of on my way in that had some good blood, but that was it. I tried to back trail it to see if I was just blind, but nope, no blood. Anyway, never give up and try to think like a deer because if you hit one and can't find blood, odds are they are nearby. I did pull the shot a bit, but still got 1 lung and the liver, so she made it 125 yds or so.
