re: Tracking a buck after being shot

what do yall think the chances are of recovery? I know its hard for yall to say without knowing what kind of shot was made but we found 3 spots where he had bedded down with nice spots of blood there. Finally, after a while of tracking we got within 15 ft of him not knowing and he jumped up running fine. At that point, we decided maybe we had pushed him too much and we needed to back out. Maybe we can get in there in the morning and see if he laid up and died

That sounds like a gut shot. They won't travel far without laying down when gut shot. You stand a good chance of finding him but like I said move slow & keep a lookout while tracking

Without a dog, y'all should of backed off at that point and waited till morning. If he was bedding down, he is hit bad enough that he will not make it. Never push a deer unless you have a good tracking dog.
