Sorry to hear about the lost deer.  Any chance of tracking dogs in your area.  I'm not sure if that is legal in your part of the country.  Some states are a bit touchy on that.

Could he have ran out near a road...I know we have a really big problem with road hunters in our area...my dad has lost a few bucks because they ran towards the road and got shot and taken by road hunters
