Ya it was a clean pass through, buck was looking at me and moved as I shot, who knows what happened.

So taking this down a different path. If you stalk into within 50 yards of where you think the buck is, do you just sit and wait or do you keep looking around to lay eyes on him? Very cautiously of
If you one lunged it they can live over a week like that.Shot a mule deer yesterday, 40 yards down hill. Bucks head to the left, seemed to be broadside. I didn’t see the entrance but saw the exit on the the rear leg. Tracked deer for over a mile, no beds, no deer. Found this blood 100 yards from shot. One lung, exited the rear ham?
Thanks for the info, this makes more sense. I just don’t see how I would have lunged him, with the shot and how everything played out and never would have believed that until I found that bubbly blood, which gave me false hope.This was 7 hours from where I live and I searched until I had to come home yesterday.My experience in tracking with a dog says that long tracks 800+ yards with bubble blood, is not lung bubbles, but rather muscle blood (which tends to also be bright) that is agitated by the hide on a deer of a moving area, like a leg. Blood that starts heavy and stops also indicates muscle. No beds indicate likely not liver, also blood is not dark. Any chance of bringing a dog in?
