I shot him inside 20 metres , aiming too take out his front wheels but think I might have gone just behind the shoulder. No sign of lung blood , or gut blood just dark red stuff.
I went after him too fucken quick , he was holding about 60mtrs from where I shot him and probly would have sat down and seised up if I hadent been a dick . Once he spooked it was all over .
Duno if I need a cuddle or a kick in the arse right now , but Im feeling abit suck.

Bummer alright.

In these situations don't give up.

Just keep going back to the last know blood splatter and keep making bigger and bigger circular sweeps until you find him ..... he won't be far.

Also wounded deer tend to sidle downhill, if the trial was heading down hill then he probably continued that way.

Go back next week if you can and you might be able to follow the smell by then.

This is when a dog is worth his weight in gold.

Better luck next time
