    If it was an SST or Amax I would have assumed a blow up. Don't know what hi lander use but I guess a lead tip bullet so doubt it was a projectile issue.
    Could you see if the animal was struggling with its gait or footing by its marks while following it up?

    Yup , that's the other thing. As the blood dried up , so did his prints .
    No sign of stubbling or having a leg busted but he was not moving that fast too start with because I heard him bolt at around 200 mtrs into the chase. I thought it was another deer till I found more blood . I could hear steps then heard him pick up the pace as I got closer.

    If you can I would go back later like Pete said and find him by smell.
    It will put your mind at ease but it happens to anyone who has done enough hunting.
    Hope ya find him. By catching up to him a couple times I reckon he is hit pretty hard.

    Wouldn't think a flesh wound with the dark huge blood splatters? Flesh wound is typically light coloured blood and not much.

    If his tracks disappeared and so did the blood it sounds like you were probably pretty close to him and was under a bush or fern etc. we bit of a drive back but a dog would no doubt find it, depends how far the walk is to him tho
