Guy's i need your advise and expertise on maybe some of your past experiences. Last night i shot a doe. She was 20 yards and quartering toward me. The arrow entered just above and behine the shoulder blade and exited low and behind her rib cage. I watched her as far as i could and waited ten minutes before i started trailing her because of the wet weather. I followed a good blood trail for about 60 yards into a thicket patch were i found a 12" spot of lung blood were she had evidently stopped, after that there was nothing. I can't find anymore tracks ar blood. I looked around that area until about 8:30 and still nothing. My Arrow smelled like it exited through her intestines. I'm sure she has expired by now. But my question is what do deer normally do in this situation? Do they head for thick cover? Do they back track? This is the first this is happened to me. Any suggestions or advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
