Well that’s it boys, I’m calling off the search for my sons. Total track was 1167.8 yards according to onX. I lost blood and started grid searching about an hour and a half ago… I’ve been back on the search since 630 this morning. To no avail….. Just to give a little shot story. Deer was completely broadside, and was shot from the ground. Right around 30 yards. Arrow never penetrated the cavity from what I can tell, just hit super low and may hav lacerated stomach lining or clipped a touch of intestines… I’m really not sure about the bolt.White hair and a touch of goop on it with very very little blood….. I know this happens to all of us at some points in our hunting career but to happen to my son on his first deer, kills me. I want to stay out and continue to track this deer but I don’t think he has passed nor will be passing anytime soon. I’ve made it to an Amish farm now that will not allow me permission to go search for the deer so my search has to stop here. Anyways, there will always be more deer to kill and more time spent in the blind or the stand with my son! Good luck to everyone who’s going out today/tonight. Sorry Giles, maybe tonight you’ll get a ball pic from me but the BB nuts are safe, for now.
