Here's the easiest video I found on the web.  There are lots more on youtube but this should serve you well.

Here is a post I did a while back that is in the "How-to" forum. Nice deer and good work finding it.

David, I have a doctor's appt. tomorrow, and can leave a book for you at the clubhouse. Merry Christmas, and congratulations! Once you butcher her yourself, you will never let a commercial processor near one of your deer!

I wish I had more time, but I am still trying to catch up on stuff I was supposed to do for Christmas. I may have some free time on Sunday, but with temps in the fifties on Saturday, she should be in cold storage by then.

Take a spray bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide with you, and anything that even looks like blood spray it. If it foams up its blood.

Big Congrats to you - wish I could have been ther with ya even though we have never met.  Only thing better than shooting your first is being there for someone elses.  I had a deer leave zero blood that I knew was dead and had to do zigzags while leaving pieces of TP as I went to be sure I did not look in the same place twice.  Was only a 40yrd tack but in some real nasty stuff and there was absolutely no blood outside the deer.  When I field dressed it there was a perfect 3 prong WW hole through the heart but somehow all the blood stayed inside. Strange things happen when hunting but perserverence pays off. Once again, congratulations!  Bob Urban

Here is a link (there are 4 or 5 10 minute parts) on YouTube from I suppose "Willie" at Willie's Meat Market on processing deer.

Though I've done many before finding this video it made more sense of it and I found it made the job easier.

 

Regards,
Mark

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

Way to stick with it !! I had the same thing this year. She only went 50 yards and not a drop of blood anywhere.

Some great tracking advice on here.

I didn't read the other posts but I'd be wondering if the animal was quartering to you a bit. It's hard to tell in the heat of the moment and a slight quarter will produce similiar results.
