This one was a low leg/brisket shot too. Seriously starting to consider a dog for trapping/tracking. We were lucky to recover both of these deer.
I sure wish I would have gotten a tracking dog a lot sooner....I'd likely have a few more deer on wall. One that I buried up an arrow down through its back when it ran in and stopped directly under my stand. I jumped him up 2 hours later just a couple hundred yards from my stand.....Another one that I gut shot from 200 yards on a midday gun hunt as he pushed a doe across a powerline while I was eating my lunch.....both really nice deer that I never saw again but could have very likely located with a tracking dog.
