Tracking Advice Needed - UPDATE First Deer Recovered (Pics)

[canopyboy]

Well, got it all in the freezer yesterday.  Nothing like gutting, skinning, and butchering your own first deer with only the internet as a guide...

maxplan - Yep, on reflection, I'm sure she was quartering to me a bit.  She walked straight at me, and then turned and put her head behind a tree so she couldn't see me...  But not a full turn apparently from the wound.  Arrow went straigh another 15-20 yards, so it didn't deflect inside.

Thanks again for the advice and all the congrats.  It's great when people on the forum are offering to leave work early and come over to help a guy out.
