AK,
Sorry to say, No it was not recovered.
I may have pushed the deer in my excitement.
I knew I made a good shot and heard the deer crash. Got down too soon I think.
Went to where she crashed and it looked like a hog had been slaughtered. No deer! Walked about 5 yards, blood everywhere, sprayed on weeds 2 feet off the ground on both sides of the trail.
No deer. I did not find another spot of blood.
My brother and I spent nearly 5 hours looking for more sign and could not. Sad day. I hated it that I had to leave this deer to die.
