Obviously there are a ton of products out on the market that are meant to trick deer, but you have to take into consideration that deer have evolved over thousands of years to be able to smell predators who are upwind of them.

I tracked him for 2 hours. I was in the swamp tracking him when I heard another deer coming towards me. He stopped about 10 yards in front of me, was facing me head on and staring at me. I shot this 6 point in the front chest with buckshot. I found him 30 yards away dead. I dragged him back to where I last saw the blood from my other deer. After another 70 yards. I walked up within 5 yards of my 11 point. He was laying there with his head up facing the other direction. For some reason I thought since I was that close to him that he was dead and maybe his head was propped up by the tree by his head. I walked up to him and was about to poke him with the end of my shotgun when I suddenly realized that he was not propped up and at that moment he turned his head and looked right at me. (Scared the hell out of me). He then jumped up and luckily was going to run away instead of charge me. I immediately raised my gun and shot him point blank in the vitals. He still ran another 60 yards before going down. Anyway, by that time I had no idea where I was so I headed for some pines and figured out where I was from there and made it back to my car marking my way out so I could find my way back to get my deer. That 11 point was a real monster and I could barley move him by myself. I found another hunter at the parking lot that said he would help me. I gutted the Monster 11 point and it took us almost 3 hours to drag him to an open cut corn field so I could put him on my cart for the rest of the way. The hunter that helped me had to go pick up his kids. We were both so exhausted and our muscle fatigue was so bad that we could not move another foot. I took a break: walked back to the car, went to town, got some food and an energy drink and went back to get him the rest of the way by myself on my deer cart. After a total of 5 hours I had him to the car. At that point I had to go because I had to pick up my daughter from daycare by 6pm and I was hunting just over an hour away from home. My question after all that? I did not make it back out there to get the other 6 point. I did not field dress him before I left, and I can't go back out there to get him until tomorrow so he will have been sitting there for 48 hours or more by the time I get to him tomorrow to drag him back. The temps since I shot him has been highs in the low 30's and lows at night between 19 and 25 degrees so it's been plenty cold. Will the meat still be good after all that time out there, and not being field dressed? Any feedback is welcome. I really don't want to leave him out there.

When I went to the spot I shot him in the woods, there was white hair everywhere but no blood. I looked for days but never could find him. I've done just about everything I can imagine to look for him. I even kept sight of buzzards in the area. Does this mean he may still be alive? And/or is it possible the bullet could have just clipped the deer? I hit a nice buck with my muzzleloader about 25 yards from my stand.

I assume it was a gut shot the way it reacted. Found a big pool of blood about 25 yards in, then the blood trail got real tough to follow. The deer seemed to make a circle around the edge, but could not find any blood anywhere of the outside of the woods. Do you think he would leave the woods? Or is he beeded down in some thick cover?

I hit a doe last night and tracked the blood for nearly 2 hours (200 yards). My flashlight batteries eventually burned out. Our blood tail went cold. I'm heading back into the woods this morning to track by daylight. We had a good frost overnight so i'm hoping that helped a bit. Any helpful hints?
