This is how its done. When you lose blood you take logical routs and you will usually connect again. Deer even double back on their own trail to lose you - especially on light snow - or swing back off to the side to watch you track by and see if you are following them or if you are just a wandering human.
That means that you are an ethical hunter and a good man. [up]
I bet that you learned alot today about deer and tracking. Those kind of days make us better hunters. [up]

You get an E for effort. You did your best to search for her cough that one up and get back out there and try again it happens to all of us at least once. Sorry to hear the outcome was not in your favor.
Given the sign on that arrow, and the blood on the plants-she was hit good. definately a fatal hit.
Was the pool that you found last smushed arround or was it like the deer just stood there bleeding-A smushed pool would indicate the deer bedded there and likely died-being carried away by a bear-If it was pooled as if the deer was standing-it could have very well clotted up after such a long bleed, and she kept bleading internally-clotting is often caused by broadheads that are no where near sharp enough-Make sure your broad heads are razor sharp.Even some new heads right out of the package aren't sharp enough!
Its been two days, and last night never got below 60 degrees-Even if you find her now-its rotten meat. Chalk it up to a learning experience. But i realy hate waisting a deer[cry]

Yeah, that one picture of blood on the stalks was impressive and appears to be a crap load of blood. Too bad you were not able to retrieve, but I commend you for going to great lengths in trying to locate her.
