We tracked it by tracks alone for another 200 yrds, never bedded.

That will make 3 deer not recovered. Ten or twelve pts. Tough to tell

Typical bow hunt!

Tough situation but if you hunt much it happens. Everything sounds good except the blood trail disappearing.

If I don’t see or hear them go down I like to give em 2-3 hours before looking.

Keep hearing about double lung shot deer having magical powers and going for miles. I have arrows over a hundred white tails and never met one of the magical ones. All my double lung shot down in 50 yards or less, one lung found within 300 yards with 4 hour wait, and liver shot deer found within 200 yards after 4 hour wait. 50% of double lung I have seen go down some only went 10 yards stood and looked and went down. The magical double lung shots and went miles is bs.

The biggest problem up here is if you wait overnight the coyotes will get to them before you do. The coyotes have no problem following up on wounded deer, well hit or not. I won't bow hunt unless there is good snow on the ground. Good luck.

I think pronghorns, pound for pound, are tougher than white-tails. Sure, they get planted with a decent shot just as fast, but if you just clip one, good luck in keeping up.
