I think you will find him. I've shot several deer with no blood only to find them within 100 yards. Most times it was in the muscle of the shoulder with no exit wound.

Post up the picture and the smiles tomorrow!

Bet he ain't 100 yards in the woods, sounds like she blowed out his shoulders.. best of luck, will say a little prayer for yall tonight for finding that deer

I have faith in you fur. You will be putting up some pictures tomorrow for us to see how proud you are. Just let him lay tonight and make the recovery in the morning. Keep us posted.

I hope you get to kick yourself again tomorrow for being too hard on yourself. Good luck, and I'm another one that thinks he won't be far. Carry some buckshot and a 20 or 12 so she can finish him off if he's still alive!

If you can't get a dog.I know a guy in St.Clair county that has a dandy dog. Let me know tomorrow and I'll shoot you his number if you need it.

That sucker took a dirt nap. I doubt you will need a dog. Take some Tylenol pm so you can sleep and I will look for pics in the a.m. Congrats to the young lady

I think you will find him tommorow.......hope so. Never had a buck that couldn't get his front end back up go too far. Good thing it's really cold tonight....and hope the yotes don't find him. Here's hoping to an easy recovery tommorow.

I wouldn't worry at all brother,that deer is dead just inside the woods,congrats to the little lady....wanted to be the first one to congratulate her,post pics in the morning.....

2nd place = 1st loser

guess I should have looked at all the post,2nd aint so bad.

Lookin' forward to pics, I think he's dead and you'll find him.

He's dead! You'll find him. She got the shoulders.

I shot my biggest to date at 200yds with a 7mm rem mag. The joker left the field like nothing was wrong. I couldn't find hair or blood. I almost threw up, but I walked in the woods where I thought he went. I found him 45yds from where I shot him. I wouldn't worry all night; I would take a camera and maybe the shotgun just in case. We want to see pics in the morning.

Gut shot deer just hump up and run...she broke his shoulders or both front legs...
What caliber?

Shot one several years ago that Bulldozed like you described but I did find hair and bone but no blood.
I looked and looked for several hours. Finally went to the truck and ate lunch, called for a dog and went back in to look. Started making widening circles looking for any sign of the Buck and finally found him about 20 yards behind where I had shot him.
It looked like a horror movie with all the blood around him where he lay. It was easily 15 feet up in the trees and around him in all directions.
He had run across the clearing I shot him in, got in the creek and made a complete circle coming back into the clearing almost to where I had shot him, bled out and died.

Like the others have said, she broke shoulders. My shot broke shoulders, sliced his heart and sent bone into his lungs.
He is dead and not far away.

Like others have said. Dead deer.. You will find him within 150yds. Don't sweat it.

My boy shot one this evening and flinched I guess? Just as you described found no blood. Deer was hit in rear/ groin area. Ran about 100 yards and piled up

That's a dead deer. Can't wait to see pics tomorrow!

If you need help in the morning, I'm just west of Guntersville. Let me know if you need help.

Don't beat yourself up. You could have let her target practice for two months straight and it still wouldn't have eliminated that buck fever you both got.
