Third guy on the search found the deer in the thickets only 30 yards away from the impact shot.
Wow- 105 pound doe dressed out
What is the story of this hunt? I see no exit wound. Some blood at the mouth indicates a lung hit.
I had a rifle kill like this year. Perfect shot at buck around 50 yards. Thought I heard it crash. Didn't find a drop of blood till I found the deer about 60 yards from where I shot it.
I think it bled out internally. I even kept looking on the path it ran after I found the deer, and couldn't find any blood.
Regarding more details on what happened - My friend was hunting with a 308 in a blind - anything 100 yards or less is a 3 and o fastball for him - very good shot.
He hunts an overgrown meadow surrounded by woodlands - he mows trails about 6 ft wide through the overgrowth which the deer uses- the overgrowth is thick
Deer appeared only 40 yards away to his 9 oclock - he was confident that he hit it - we searched the impact zone and not a drop of blood anywhere. We followed all the mowed trains and deer trails outbound and still nothing -
3rd guy joined search and found the deer piled up only 30 yards from impact zone in the middle of the brush.
The shooter and I both had given up- glad the 3rd guy joined in-
No exit wound on the deer- shot drilled through the top of the left shoulder.
