What craphole state are you hunting in that won't let you go after a wounded deer regardless of the legal method used to track it? If it's legal to use a drone to find it, and have proof like pictures, that it's wounded, it should be legal to go after it and end it's misery.
The law is probably intended to keep people from using drones to kill deer. I know that's not what happened here but I understand.

I hope you went in and stuck another one in him. No need to tell us if you did that... sometimes the letter and spirit of the law aren't quite aligned.

All that said... I do not understand why folks insist on shooting narrow two blades at whitetail deer with modern compound bows pulling a reasonable poundage. At least use a 3 blade head, or a wide 2 blade with bleeders.
This is not great evidence of a narrow two blade failing. He missed the vitals. Would another 1/2" of cut mean this buck doesn't live 36 hours. I don't think so.

I'll take the improved accuracy and penetration of a narrow two blade over a 3 blade or wider head. I've put a 7/8" stinger killer bee through a mature bull, a muley buck and a couple whitetail with zero issues.
