[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1344920, member: 7123"] And most important of all, wait, wait, wait. Do not even get up to go TO the spot where the deer was when you made the hit until at least 15-20 minutes have passed - back out and go back to camp for awhile or just sit tight. My first bow deer, I hit it good at 7 yards. I pieced together all of the following later, after an ordeal: It only ran about 30 yards from there and laid down. From where it laid, it could see the spot where IT was when I shot it, but due to trees, could not see the spot 7 yards away where I had been sitting, from it's lay-down spot. So, when I, like an idiot walked the 7 yards to look at my arrow, it saw me and ran - and ran - and ran..... Many hours and much headache later, and a lot of luck, we found it 125 yards that way down the ridge, then 80 yards down the hill, then across a creek dead on the far bank. All could have been eliminated had I just sat tight for 20 minutes, as it was double lunged. Wait at least 15-20 for a heart or 2-lung shot. Wait at least 1/2 hour for a single lung shot. Wait at least 1 hour for a liver-shot, and at least 2-4 hours if gutshot, preferably 4. [/QUOTE]
