Neighbor shot a big buck this am and asked if he could track it through my place. I said yes.

After 200 yards of "some meat and blood" turning into pin drop blood, they lost trail.

This was where buck was first standing after shot:



Looks like lung to me. Yall think it's dead? Gonna resume hunt tomorrow if they don't find him.

he say what caliber he was using?

looks like the liver to me? 200 yards at full throttle isn't much for a buck, but I bet he is laying somewhere by now the way you describe the "scene".

It's 200 yards through very dense woods.

I'll look for buzzards tomorrow and in the creek. That's where I bet he ends up.

I think he's dead, but I've certainly been wrong before.

I'd check around any water in the area...seen a lot of animals travel to ponds or water sources after being injured! Good luck!

Looks like he might have got a little forward from the color.. did you smell the blood? serious question

I don't think its lung but from what you describe, he's probably laid up somewhere. Call in the dogs.

wish i was there i love to track

I'm not out there. Will be tomorrow.

Looks like brisket blood, more than likely in front of the shoulders or possibly below the vitals and behind the front legs.

He said it just stood there for 5 minutes after he shot.

Hope you guys are right assuming he doesn't find it. Hate for a deer to go to waste like that.

He shot low if that buck just stood there like that...

Yup

If it was a brisket shot, yall think its mortal?

eventually if hes bleeding good enough..

seen one also get hit in the same area.. more in the leg but he ended up getting shot 2 weeks later chasing a doe about 100yrds away... his leg was rotting off by this time... oh I had been hunting him hard also.. this was a 147 inch slick 8 that had 10 inch brows that crossed at the tips.. we called him cross buck.. insane deer wish I could have got him lol. oh one of his anters fell off when he hit the ground too.. pretty crazy

sorry I got off track there lol oh the nightmares

Hope I see/find him tomorrow.

According to the guy tracking him, he's not bleeding at all.

If he's not getting good blood at a spot where the deer stood for 5 minutes after being shot he's got problems. What was shot distance and bullet type?

I would tell him to back out

Yep.

Or keep pushing him maybe youll get a change to shoot him

There was good blood at the shot site. That's the picture.

Trail just dried up.

Cameron how far are you from New Ulum

No and you will see him again or kill him on corn or oats. He will loose a lot of weight and if the coyotes don't get him he will live. Brisket or frontal brisket shots usually bleed like a stuck hog for 200-300 yards then quit. I when I say quit they quit totally.
