I agree with Blake on the deer heading to a water source. Good luck!

good luck, that's a low shot, probably not lethal

Curious as to why you didn’t get another arrow in him when you had him at 45 yards??

For the future, it is always my advice, if you have a wounded deer and have the opportunity to put another shot into him, do it! I'd give this advice whether with gun or bow... That is a reason I always give for practicing at distances farther than I'd normally shoot at a live animal... JUST IN CASE such a scenario develops, you've had experience in longer than normal shots... Good luck. Hope you find your deer. With a decent dog and a gut shot deer, you should get him whether live or dead. A tracking dog will bay a gut shot deer pretty dependably (gut or liver).

I think we need a "Just Shot a buck/doe recovery" section of the forum, just so when the non-hunter happens to wonder onto the forum, they realize these threads in "NO WAY" represent the average ethical bow harvest of an animal. Usually it's over within seconds. Most folks never use a tracking dog in there entire life. Just saying, all these threads are kind of misrepresenting the kind of bowhunting I know. Some folks might look at this and say oh, so bowhunting is about sticking an arrow in an animal, waiting 40 minutes, and then calling a tracking dog to find the wounded animal. That's not how it works, if you hit'em where you're supposed to(NOT TRYING TO BE RUDE - I know we all have made bad shot's), but there has been way to many of these threads lately.

This is spot on. If you have a chance to pump another one in there do it! Good look, I'm in for recovery.

That arrow really looks like a low through the meat hit to me. OP is there all liquid or is there some meat clung to the arrow? All I see is white hair. That deer may not be dead or anywhere close to it. Which is a good thing if you don’t find him.
