Guess where he ends up

[LoneWolf]

It sounds like you hit him pretty good KT. I know the feeling of losing a deer and when the blood starts trickling, my heart and mind get queazy too. Did you still have a decent blood trail when you let up on him?
You will probably only get blood from one side of him with that hit, so make sure to watch on plants and limbs at about the height you hit him at also.
I would think if you let him set for a couple of hours, you would be fine going back out tonite yet to look for him. Around my area, coyotes are a concern, so I don't like letting them go over night unless I'm really unsure of the hit. Yours sounds good, so I'm hoping for the best for you.
Let us know how it goes.
