Had this happen on an evening hunt it started to rain slightly and the ground was covered in some green and red small leafy plant so blood tracking was terrible.Came back the next morning with a buddy who shot a huge 4 point on the way in.We did find the buck i shot and he had bled out on the rear leg he did not go far from where i shot him.Deer will also burrow under logs and head to water we have seen this a couple of times.
