The arrow didn't look promising but honestly I think every deer is different. I guess the only thing you can do is give it your best shot and see what happens. Good luck with the rest of your search, I'm glad I was able to help for a bit

Could you guys find any blood at all, or be able to follow his running tracks very far?

My gut is telling me non lethal hit... when I stopped hearing him through the brush it seemed he hit a opening in brush that was grass.... I have 4 cams moved to where I normally get him. My neighbor is looking now...

Maybe one more stint tomorrow... no blood makes it tough

I'm praying that was not how the story ends....

I plan to spotlight the area.... maybe tomorrow PM...

If it is high non lethal I expect him to be in his usual haunts rutting... I have seen this before. If he alive he will be running around like nothing happened

Hang in there. Lows are usually followed by highs.

Bummer, Bucky I was hoping you'd find him, but I was concerned about not enough arrow in him, in my opinion. I hope he makes it, if he is not lethally wounded. Hang in there things will get better for sure.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.
