well if you have some help.. just go to the last spot of blood you found and mark it so you can come back to it.. I would then start a spiral search widening your circle each time until you find more blood or find him..

 

get as many eyes as you can. start a grid search from last blood

 

hope you find him. I guess it depends on how much the deer was really bleeding. Did you ever jump the deer?

 

Found more blood went another 4-500 yards . I hit him to the right of the heart and below the lungs , but am getting good red blood

 

How do you hit below the lungs?

 

Still no deer

 

that sucks. My friend trailed a deer for over 400 hundred yards (hands and knees mostly) ran out. walked another 50 or so on what he thought was the way the buck headed and he found him. hang in there

 

Have you tried to find anyone with a recovery dog or even the family pet will someone times lead ya to one if you take em to the last blood and turn em loose and watch

 

Sometimes they backtrack. If you can't find any more try following the trail backwards looking for a bloodtrail off to the side.

 

Recovered a buck yesterday that was shot bad and found him 1200 yards away. lost blood several times and had to scatter and find more. Lot of guys would have gave up and that deer would have never been found.

 

thanks for all the encourgment guys. the amount of blood through out this trail ,it is amazing I havnt found him yet. he is the biggest one ive ever had a chance at. hope i find him before the cyotes do. im guessing ive covered at least 800 yards and still finding good blood and about every 50 yards there is leaves covered in it.

 

It's possible you may be pushing him -- any signs of him standing with larger splotches of blood here and there? If it's just bleeding out, deer have a lot of reserve! Keep it up and here's wishing you luck!

 

My brother hit one yesterday morning around 8am and we jumped him once and he made to posted property.The land owner took him over to track it at 4pm they jumped it and then left it .They met up this morning at 8am and the deer was still alive but was able to finish him off.With the amount of blood that I saw I would have sworn he wouldnt have made it the night.Dont give up.

 

Yes there are large splotches of blood that seem to be like he walks and stops and bleeds while he is just standing there. I think the coyotes are pushing him more than me. There is only been maybe 20 yards out of 800 that have no blood.

 

? part of mo u in i have a dog that if the deer is dead she will find it last year 5 for 6 finds this year 3 for 3 finds. more then happy to help if i can

 

I am east of the metro area and could definitely use the help, thanks so much for your offer , I could pay your gas or whatever. I just hate to lose this one, he's the biggest one I've seen and shot out here

 

how far from from columbia ?

 

PM sent triplebbb

 

Try

 

Good luck.I've seen liver hit deer travel a long distance if they have been bumped.A one lung hit can do the same.All you can do is keep looking.

 

Good luck! Hope you're able to find him today.

 

I found him , yes
