Ouch. Must be a bad neighbor if they wouldn't give you a chance to recover the doe. My personal rule of thumb if I don't see the deer fall is to wait an hour before I get down and check the arrow. Depending on the type of blood on the arrow I'll either proceed from there or back out and wait longer.

Watch it fall=half hour.
Watch it run=hour minimum and look at arrow/sign at point of impact with arrow.
Questionable sign=6-8 hours.
Known poor shot placement=8-12 hours I know some folks that drop them in their tracks and get relaxed and then watch them get up and get gone.

I shot a nice buck about 4 years ago with my rifle, went bang flop, saw the white on his belly as he laid there . About 1 minutes late reply. , he gone. I still haven’t figured out what happened.

You likely back slapped him......It's one of the most common calls that trackers get during gun season. Pretty much the same story every time....Deer hits ground immediately....sometimes they flop around....sometimes they don't even move much.....eventually though they get back to their feet and are fine......All that likely happened was that you grazed it across the top of the back and shocked its spine causing temporary paralysis.....temporary being the key word there. BTW.....I had a hunter admit to me the other day that he was tracking the deer 9 minutes after the shot... …….You pretty much have to make yourself do the right thing in this situation. It's hard to though.....I've chased after them myself in the past.

I’d have to strongly disagree with that theory. In the vast majority of cases you’ve either mortally wounded the deer or you haven’t. Once the shot is fired, what’s done is done. Getting in behind him and chasing him is not likely going to turn a non-lethal hit into a lethal one. If the deer is mortally wounded then he’s gonna want to bed up quickly. Why not let him do that? All you’re gonna do is push the deer farther and farther away from the hit site by getting on him too quickly. I don’t care if he does clot up or this and that…..if you’ve smoked him through the liver, guts, etc…..he’s gonna bed up and die. If he’s only been scratched up then it doesn’t matter anyways. Most deer that are hit hard will be recovered within 100-400 yards if left alone. The exception to this rule for me is a leg hit with a gun. Waiting isn’t gonna help with that one. You might as well go in with the dog and see if he will bay up. He may or may not eventually die from his injury but what’s more likely to happen is the coyotes will eventually catch up with him and finish the job.

I shot my best buck in leg and like cnc said I had good blood and jumped him 500 yards from where I originally shot him and put him away for good
