A little less than 3/4 of a mile. This really surprised me. I went to Google Maps and measured it. I was sure it would have been at least 2 miles. Never found the deer. I stuck him with an arrow and watched him stand by the creek bed for ten minutes. I assumed I had missed. When I got down at dark I spooked him and he ran off. I immediately found blood and walked to the creek to see where he was standing. There was at least a half gallon of blood on the ground where he was standing. If I would have waited 10 more minutes to get down he would have fallen out. Eventually I learned my lesson on waiting to get down after the shot. It took 15 years.
