Deer that are shot and never recovered

Made a meat hunt Thursday afternoon during rain. Took a lung shot on a doe right at dark, further than I usually shoot. Well, I could not see any blood, but could smell the deer. Figured I might have hit too far back and hit the gut. I looked for over two hours, finally gave up. Was sick to my stomach. Couldn't sleep. Went back to make morning hunt, couldn't take it any more. Got off stand at 8 and started looking again. Found the deer within an hour. I had walked within 20 yards of it the evening before. Never give up

Talking about not recovering a deer. The big deer that I posted about being shot near my house ended up having a crossbow bolt under his skin. Apparently it was facing away from someone when they shot. It ran the length of the rib cage under the skin. It was healed over and he was chasing does. That had to have been painfull but he survived with a broad head in him.

Me and some buddies trailed one for 4 hours one night. The search took place roughly 2 hours after he was shot, bc we didnt have a decent flashlight and we wanted to give him a chance to die. He was in a wooded area maybe 100 yards wide x 4 miles long. Open fields/ farm land surrounded the wooded area. It was a easy trail to follow but seemed never ending. We eventually found him less than a mile from where we shot him. I guess we were basically chasing him in this small area until he tapped out. We eventually followed the blood trail over a log and he popped up on the other side as we walked up. Turns out he got shot in the chin... it was just hanging by a thread.

I lost a doe a few years ago with my bow. Made me want to never bow hunt again.
