Well guys I never found her.Myself and a friend went out the next morning, we trailed blood across a pasture probably 120yds and the trail quit. The blood was just about the size of this " [:@]" at the largest. Yes I agree Cardeer I was miserable all night, I hate to loose an animal. That was the first thing I told my dad that the antis would really love that. Im sure that the fact that I went back to search after work would do the articles author any good. Im sure most do. The bowhunters I run with as well of most of the members here take this situation seriously and exhaust all means before they give up. But in the larger sceme of things the coyotes gotta eat too and truly I dont think shell go to waste just because shes not in my freezer. Thanks for all the input

As warm as it was and with the gut shot and probably up into the liver and lungs, I don' t think the meat would have been good anyway. That deer was probably dead within an hour. She' d be all green underneath by morning. Just my take, but I' m assuming you got pretty substantial penetration with just hitting guts first and no bone. In front of that everything is deadly, so I say she died pretty quick. The shot is a great shot to take if you start it in the right direction. The problem most people have is they aim to far forward.
