About 45mins ago I arrowed a NICE buck. The shot looked decent, maybe a touch back but not far. Deer ran about 60yds and bedded down where I could see him but after about 20mins he got back up and kinda hobbled off. I am still up in the tree and can see my arrow stuck in the ground and it is covered in blood from one end to the other. I've never had one bed down and get back up and walk off. Do yall think I'm gonna find this deer?

Sounds like a liver hit. Give him at least 3 hours.

Probably only went a short distance and dropped. Give him some time. Congrats.

He's probably already dead. But to be on the safe side, I'd get some help and go in at lunchtime.

It's not a Passion, it's an Obsession. That's what I tell my wife, but she promptly informs it's a disease to which is incurable.

Do yall think I'm gonna find this deer? Had the exact same scenario happen 2 weeks ago with a doe. I climbed down after 2 hours and walked to within 5 yards of her only to find her still alive. I slowly back peddled and she jumped up and took off. Came back 2 hours later,and she was dead at the nearest creek crossing on the other side of the creek. I'd give him at least 4 hours,3 if it was a doe

Followed good blood for 100yds or so and bumped him out of his bed. I shot him at 6:30 and it's noon now. Gonna back out and wait another couple of hours. I'm starting to get a little sick to my stomach  Take a gun with you!

I know it's gonna be hard to do Coosa but if it was me I would wait til in the morning to go get that beast...gonna be plenty cold tonight, coyotes might get to him first but you will still be able to recover him but that's just my thoughts I agree, that is a great deer and I wouldn't want to push him any more.

How did he act? Was he weak or strong?
If he was looking weak, I would wait until about 4:00 PM and then try one more time. Go real slow and look hard with your binos. I hate leaving them overnight. Dang yotes get them. If I didn't find him before dark though, I would wait until morning.

If it's that thick in there take a shotgun and some buckshot. Give him until 4:00 and go back after him...

Hope you don't bump him again. Me personally I wouldn't take a dog in this afternoon if you just bumped him a few hours ago. Speaking from experience. Only take the dog if you know he's dead. My vote is wait til tomorrow morning. I'd hate to see you regretting not doing so if you bump him again this afternoon
Wish it was hunting season.....year round

That deer may not die, or it may just take a long while for him to go septic. That looks like liver blood on the arrow, and you may have just clipped it. The liver will bleed like crazy even if its just nicked.
If the dogs weren't interested/successful, I'd be really surprised if he is dead in that general area. I don't know how you feel about it, but I've found one where all I got were the antlers, and I when I did, I really wished that the buck had just lived or I had missed. Anyway, good luck and I hope you get the outcome that you're hoping for.
