Hopefully this will at least let you recover the antlers. This is a senario that you hopefully won't encounter, and good shot selection can all but eliminate this from happening. The above technique will work on any deer regardless of where it was hit. Remember the gut shot is the worst case senario. Let me list some other facts that you can use to help recover your deer.
Frothy blood indicates a lung hit.
This blood is often pink in appearance. Dark blood might indicate a liver shot. Wounded deer have a tendency to want to run down hill as apposed to uphill. Anytime you jump a deer that has been hit back off and give it time to die. Deer hit in the chest that don't die immediately ususlly feel weak and will bed up extremely close to where they were hit.
