After the shot, I saw the arrow sticking out of him, and he ran about 60-70 yards before cutting into the woods, it appeared that he staggered cutting in, so I waited until Sunset, got down, phoned home, and just about an hour after the shot took up the trail, it had gotten to the point to where the drops were getting small so I decided to back out rather than chance pushing the animal. I called a friend, and we went back out about 8:45, to retake up the trail, I had asked him what he thought, he said if we didn't find the deer within a 100 yards we'd back back out and wait until morning...well not even 50 yards from where I had initially stopped we found him piled up! All the time God is good!
