Not to be Debbie downer. But if you’re 15’ or higher in tree, he might be single lunged if no heart or plumbing. Him bedding gives me that suspicion too. On top of everyone piling on saying he’s done. Never fails.

Here’s one vote for proceeding as if you hit him single lung…

I thought about that as well but assuming the first pic is impact 99.5% of the time that deer is dead. I like the fact that he has given him a good bit of time though just in case.

I too considered this, and said as much to the guy who’s helping me track. I am giving him at least 3.5 hours all to himself. First pic was indeed impact, and I’m thinking I may have clipped heart. Fingers still crossed but proceeding with caution.
 
Update: went out 4 hours after the shot, got on good blood, some lung matter and bright, frothy, mucusy blood, then I crept to within 30 yds of where he apparently bedded and he got up and trotted away. He didn’t book it, and he gushed some more goopy red blood as he went, so at 180 yds of tracking I backed out and put in an SOS with my neighbor. Going to give him until about 9pm then hit the trail again, hoping he is dead as we speak. He’s hurt…bad. But my arrow seems to still be in him and my attitude is staying positive. He is for sure going to die, I just want to find him when he does.
