[QUOTE="HRstretch, post: 202784, member: 7480"] I think you have been doing everything that you can to recover your deer. I must say a lot more then some hunters would have done. As stated already a 100 lb deer can hide in a really small place. I have helped on this kind of search before and we thought that we would locate the deer by the birds and smell as well, but no such luck. I knew of a man this year that shot a nice buck with a bow on Thanksgiving tracked it like you before completely losing its trail. Searched for days. Shot the same deer again with bow three weeks later, was there this time. We tracked that deer for 500 to 600 yards. I found where it had laid down, the wound had clotted up and when it got up we had no Idea where it had gone. There were to many deer and hog tracks to make his out. We searched all weekend for that deer walking just about every trail with no luck. So it happens, again you have done more to recover this deer then most will do. It may be that you locate it and there is nothing to make you feel better. Just know that it wasn't for a lack of effort from you an the recovery. [/QUOTE]
