re: Cant find your deer... How long do you stay?

I've never really had to do more than about 20 minutes of trailing luckily. One time I shot a doe at 35 yards with my 06 and could only find a few drops of blood and then nothing. Backed out and waited until everyone else was out I their stands and then we scattered. Found her pretty quick and once we did, we saw why there was no blood. The bullet pulled part of the lung through the exit wound and plugged up the hole. Looked like she had a potato hanging off her side
