Did he “mule” kick or did he jump straight up. In my experience most times they mule kicked it was a good hit. If I missed low or hit them low they pretty much jumped straight up and hauled the mail. Also from experience, sometimes deer just don’t bleed for some reason. Sometimes it looks like blood was poured out by the 5gal bucket. As said above, once you’ve looked all you can, call the dog.
It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chews your a$$ all day long.

Had same experiences
Calling the dog ifn it a good dog guy will get u an answer most likely. Several are listed at top of deer forum. Art Powers is very awesome. I imagine CNC and John V are too!

I hunt too close to a major highway to call in a dog, in my opinion. I couldn’t stand for someone’s tracking dog to get hit by the high traffic on that road, and for some reason, that’s the way the deer always head. I will update this post if I get any new information on the buck. Thanks again for your replies. Robinhedd

Robinhedd Most of them have collars they can stop their dog at the road and walk him across to your neighbor’s property where the buzzards will find him tomorrow

Well, I’d like to update this thread. The buck that I missed made his grand appearance yesterday, on the last day of the season a few minutes after 5pm. Thankfully, I was at work, and got the pic from my cell camera and I just wanted to cry 😭 . At least I know for sure now that I didn’t hit him when I shot, and he mule kicked! I guess I just scared the crap out of him. He will definitely be the number 1 buck that I’ll be after next season. Thanks for all the replies, Robinhedd
