Did he look in the right place? I know I've been off by 5 yards and it cost me 2 hours of searching only to realize I started in the wrong spot

There's a good chance it's a high back shot....very low recovery rate on those.

Low running, in my experience, indicates a fatal chest shot. Certainly not a gut shot. I've seen a lot of them that didn't bleed much because the shot was mid to high in the chest and most of the blood pooled down into the chest cavity. They really didn't start bleeding good until the cavity filled with blood. By then the pressure causes the heart to stop so they are very close. When I think this may be the case, I concentrate on where the deer was standing when shot and look for hair instead of blood.
Anyways, with a decent dog, you'll find it.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

If he hit him there is blood, Expand out from where he thought he shot him. I like to track using a roll of toilet paper. Start where the deer was shot and mark with a piece of toilet paper. Expand out until your next drop put another piece of paper. You can use the paper if your unsure if a red spot on a leaf is blood or not. Blot it and if it comes back red it's blood. It's raining here. If you get rain it will make it a lot harder if it wasn't a good shot. The nice thing about toilet paper is that you don't have to go back and pick it up. It will deteriorate very rapidly.

How long did it lay there? If it laid there a while then it is probably a back-whack or neck shot. Either way it will be a long, hard recovery, if at all, even with a good tracking dog.

The dog should lead you right to him alive or dead. The rain we had will only his nose work better.

Rain usually makes the trail easier for the dog.

Didn't lay long , head was wobbly .Son said he hit the ground kicking then got up running off low to ground. Thought he was hit hard That is good. You may have a good chance then. Been 18 hrs. He should be dead nearby if it was any vitals. Who's dog? Good luck.
