[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 2035918, member: 52437"] I disagree. This deer ran 20 yards with literally not one drop of blood. 4 years ago my wife had the same thing happen but a almost bad outcome. She shot at a buck while it was jogging (definitely shouldn't have shot). Anyways, I came to her stand an hour later to help her look for the buck. We went to where he last stood and nothing. No hair or blood just tracks. We followed the tracks for 50 yards until we couldn't see tracks anymore and had no clue where it went. We circled around with a friend for 30 minutes and no blood nothing so we said ok she must have missed. Well her nephew was on the way down to meet us and when he got to where we were he said I see something white in the bushes next to you guys. Sure enough it was her buck. What he saw was the tail barely sticking out and the only reason he saw it is because he was up hill a good 75 yards and could look down into the bush. Had he not came and saw it we would have thought she missed and that buck would have gone to waste. I'm not saying this will ever happen again but because of that I always want an exit to give better chance at some sort of sign of blood. [/QUOTE]
