Thank you to all that helped yesterday and today. No deer was found. A few large splatters of blood lead me to believe the arrow cut into the diaphragm. A few people who help said they believe the deer is alive and well with just a brisket shot, a few have said the deer is dead. I believe he is dead. After many hours yesterday and today, covering all reasonable ground we could and finding no blood past the last blood spot, I believe the deer is dead but, after 6 people were looking for it, I don't know if it is recoverable. I have punched my tag and will wait for the crows. House rules. Unless you see the animal later still alive, you draw blood, you punch your tag. I drive by there every day and will watch for signs of a dead animal. Deer season ends on a sour note but elk still has 2 weekends
