I would back out also. Are you sure the deer you jumped was him? Did you go in and look to find the bed that deer jumped up from?

If it was the deer he had been there for about 40 minutes.

Best thing is to back out like you did and wait till morning. Can you see the search area from the blind? If so, be in it prior to first light. Everyone always says to look for buzzards but I also tell people to pay attention for any coyote movement in your search area as well. If you see coyotes from the stand they will show you the direction the carcass is if you have a dead deer. Good luck in the morning.

If they are on the deer you will here them. You might get lucky and he will chase a doe back or follow one in. Seen it happen on a rare occasion and still get the buck.

Not really. We can only see where he jumped the fence. We were hunting the corner of a big wheat field with a feeder in the tree line. When he jumped the fence he was going from the wheat field into the trees.

He came in this morning as soon as the feeder went off and came back in this evening as soon as the feeder went off.

I would still be in the stand for the first 45 minutes to 1 hour to observe what is going on. Heck who knows maybe if you just got muscle he might be back in the a.m. If not, it gives you a chance to look for coyotes and buzzards from a concealed elevated position.

If you don't find him in the morning go to the nearest water source,stock tank,wet creek,and look very good around that. Many times a wounded deer will go to water for some reason. A lot of times they will actually jump in. I have found two or three wounded deer dead the next day in a pond or deep hole in a creek.

The tank and the area around it are your best bet. Good luck!

Well we looked and other than the blood we found lastnight didn't find anymore. I really think the deer is still alive but if he is dead it's not on our place. Like I said we only have 100 acres out there and it has 3 wheat fields and 2 tanks. Also has a stretch down the middle of it that is about 40 yards wide that is thick with brush and trees with a couple other smaller tree lines around the place. We covered it all with no sign of anything. I appreciate everyone's input and encouragement. That's the first time I had been on a hunt that I knew the deer was hit but didn't know if the shot was fatal or not. We will get back after them next weekend.

Thanks for the update and I bet you are right that he has lived to see another day. I hope he shows back up for yall later. Those wheat fields are awesome places to be as the season goes on. I feel bad for your nephew though as I bet he is down in the dumps today.

If he's still alive, and I'm betting he is, my money says you'll see him again

I would also tell your neighbors. Most folks are very sympathetic toward kids and lost deer. Good luck!

I would put up some TC on the feeders or trails into the wheat. I am betting with the rut, he will be after does.
