520AZcountryboy Report post Posted November 11, 2015 My brother says he's positive that he shot a deer but there weren't any signs of a blood trail. Is this possible and if yes, where do we begin to look. The terrain is very dense of brushes and mesquite tree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AverageJoe Report post Posted November 11, 2015 Heck yes its possible. My buck this year didnt have one drop of blood anywhere. Luckily i watched him drop or i would have had a very very hard time finding him. He expired inside a large bush like a rabbit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stanley Report post Posted November 11, 2015 IMO, yes it is possible. Often times there can be little to no external bleeding, depending on the wound. Keep looking! If the deer was in fact hit, intuition would have me looking downhill first..... Good luck! S. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AverageJoe Report post Posted November 11, 2015 Best place to look is in the vicinity of where he shot it. Did he see it run off or did it die within sight? Look for leg drag marks ground disturbed etc. check inside every bush or tree in sight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vixen Report post Posted November 11, 2015 Sometimes if you go to where the animal was hit, you can start there and start making small radar like circles and start getting bigger. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

520AZcountryboy Report post Posted November 11, 2015 Thanks guys we are still searching. It's extremely difficult with how thick the brush and trees are. Thanks rancilio but we're in unit 36c. I appreciate the offer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted November 11, 2015 Very possible. Is also very likely he's not in the exact spot the deer was. ... that cab be very very difficult. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hatchet Jack Report post Posted November 11, 2015 That's a bad feeling. I hit a really good non typical buck this year and couldn't find him. found blood and everything, zig zagged that side hill and the bottom 4 times. it was just thick and I was by myself. I even went back the next weekend and looked for crows and hiked the canyon again but didn't see anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

520AZcountryboy Report post Posted November 13, 2015 Sad to say that we never found his buck but l have to say this has been the best and toughest hunt I have ever been on. Neither of us tagged out but came close. Just over a month until we head back out to the hills! Big or bust and huntharder. You must not be in the right area. Give me a break. It was our first time in this unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
