300yrds is a long way and if you only got one lung it may go further. Good thing you backed out.
Get out there tomorrow first light with a dog and you maybe able to recover it.

I think he's a 160+ in main frame 10 with 3 extra points in his brow tines and one kicker off the side of his main beam.

Give it the night for sure! Good luck!!

HOPE you find him. How long did you wait till you started tracking him originally? THAT is the Million Dollar question?

 

[bcowette]

Pretty sure the arow went in at least 8 inches.

 

[bcowette]

Waited 2 hours to track him but it had gone right where it would have had it been the deer my buddy saw. We stoped a good 300 yards short of where he saw him last.

well, hope he is sitting in his death bed tonight and bleeding out. I think that hunters in general don't realize how far a wounded deer can run in a matter of seconds. Far enough that the trail goes dry and the hunter can never find him again in way to many cases. I wait 4-5 hours to do any tracking at all UNLESS I see the deer drop and die from my stand. That 4-5 hours is hard to wait, but it might be the difference between finding him and not. Some say to wait 8 or more hours, and perhaps that is a good plan. Hard to say. HOpe 2 hours was enough. If he's walked slowly 600 yards, then that is one alive deer still.

Not enough info to know if he is dead or not good luck

 

[skinner2]

Good luck, hope you find him in the morning.

 

[kstatemallards]

Well it definitely would have got more than shoulder if it went in 8 inches.

I sure hope you find it! Can't imagine you will sleep much thinking about him, don't think I would. Keep us informed and good luck!!

Get a dog it will save you hours and countless what ifs and I wonder if...

 

[gwa2712]

Fingers crossed you find him. I wouldn't be getting much sleep tonight if I were in the same situation.

 

[HawkeyeBruiser]

Can you use a dog where you are at? Is it legal?

 

[Kevin2]

That is a good idea. HOWEVER, before that, I'd give it a look in the morning, and if he isn't found fast, then I'd have that dog tracker waiting in the wings to get right on it. I'd be looking up tracker services now. I keep the name of 3 trackers in my part of my state at all times, just in case. We found a liver shot deer a few years back using a dog tracker service here in Michigan. WOULD have never found that deer without the dog, simple as that. The guy that shot this deer said it was the best $250 he ever spent on hunting when they found that buck. HOPE you find him in the early morning, all nice and tighty for you. Be sure to post lots of photos ASAP. Good luck...

Is my thought process that sound that since the broadhead litterally pulled out at the insert that it probably penetrated through any bone it may have hit? I would assume that if it just stuck in a bine that it would have just fallen out with the broadhead. Also does my setup have the power to break bone?
