[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 1628944, member: 4319"] I really only got to hunt Saturday morning and this morning...and I've only seen one dinky yearling. Saturday evening I'm on stand less than an hour when dad texts me that he has hit a big doe. He says he hit her in the shoulder blade and didn't get a pass-thru. He's not finding blood or the arrow, so being the saint of a son I am I abandon my post and sacrifice my opening evening hunt to aid the old man in his doe recovery. I walk up and find 2 good-sized drops of blood immediately. Bang, now I'm all confident thinking I'll trail this deer down like a human bloodhound. Only there was no more blood to be found. After fruitless searching of the immediate are we decide to head out of the woods and into the small field where she ran in hopes to find the arrow that she ran off carrying. Shortly thereafter I return to the shot spot to look for blood one last time before losing light while he continues grid searching. I look down at my phone to check the time and see a missed call from dad. He walked through one treeline, popped through a brushy creek and saw her piled up about 10 yards across said creek. I couldn't believe it. She was maybe 90yds as the crow flies from the shot spot. We never did find the arrow. Backtracked heavy blood about 30 yds from where we found her and then it dried up to nothing. He hit her way forward, right through the shoulder blade. It got at least one lung and prolly a bit of heart and/or arteries. He got really, really lucky to find her considering the terrain. A pass-thru makes all the difference in the world as far as blood trailing goes. Good sized old doe for our area - about 95lbs. No pics, but it looks exactly like a dead doe. [/QUOTE]
