[QUOTE="eddybo, post: 202833, member: 7194"] I read somewhere that if a deer wasnt down within 150 yards that in all likelyhood it was a non fatal hit. As tough as wild animals are I would say get out there and hunt if season is still open. I have not lost an animal while using a firearm in 15 years, but know that anytime I pull the trigger no matter the range it is a possibility. It is a fact of life for hunters, even though we do all we can to minimize this risk. Sometimes you do everything right with a less than desireable outcome. When I was a kid I shot the same deer two days in a row. The second day he was running a doe with his front left leg flopping. I beleive that had I not been there to finish him that deer would have been just fine. Good luck hope you find him. [/QUOTE]
