Yup , swallow hard .. if you saw the ravines I’ve been up and down it would blow your mind,,, good thing I’m somewhat in shape ... many it’s tough ,. again I wish I could relive that day but ... live and learn ...

Where would you even look ? Realtor ? Craigslist ?

Well I went back this morning for 2 more hours of looking ... nothing. followed the ravine to the bottom , walked the creek.,, nothing ...

Here they are

Yea I still wish I could dial back today,, I would have passed on the shot. im going to go back tomorrow but I’m not even sure where to begin. the snow was melting fast today and that didnt help matters . thing is I have let lots of deer pass because I didn’t have a clean kill shot

I just don’t think I’ll find her , I covered slot of ground today and never saw her or anymore blood. it’s very steep where she went and not thick , lots of trees but not close together , id love to find her but again the blood just stopped

Yea I know ... the gun is dead nuts on ... I blame myself for taking a shit I shouldn’t have . I don’t think I’ll find her because I covered a lot of ground with some big patches of snow and nothing

Yea the height of the blood was about 2” off the ground

Yea thx ... wish I could re- live today

It probably was more like 75 yards .. I had a clear view, if she turned right I would have been blacked except for possible headshot left I would have been tree line blocked totally

Yea she was in an area where I couldn’t get any closer to her ..if she turned either way I wouldn’t have a clear shot .. in hind site I wish I didn’t take the shot . T was a then or never shot .. trust me in beating myself up ..

Nope already thought of that.. any sense of going back tomorrow and looking more ? im thinking it’s not a fatal shot ..it’s very steep ravines too, I really looked hard ... I’m sick

Dam I just got done saying in 4 yrs I have killed every deer with one shot with this .243

100 yards

The blood and hair was low on the trees the second pic looks like she fell going down the hill in the leaves

Man I’m sick , i hate that she may be suffering and I didn’t find her

No I was walking , standing at the top of a hill she was at the bottom

Well first time , saw a nice big down in some woods at the egg foot of the hill. she was facing me and I had her in the scope , if she turned either way I wouldn’t have a shot, took a chest/neck shot.. I hit her , she kinda hunched and then ran up over the hill into the woods... I walked to where she was and saw some blood and white hair and small pc of bone. so I waited like an hour or so and started following, had some patches of blood and white hair... ruffled leaves and some more blood on the sparse patches of snow.... then nothing... I did circles , grid walk , nothing ... I walked to the foot of the hill and walked the creek bed,,, nothing i sick to my stomach.... can’t believe unless I hit her shoulder or leg?? I wish I could relive that shot again,,,not happy

Yea I’ve been checking there , Everything listed is pretty much sold

I live in the finger lakes area , Auburn NY looking for hunting land /woods near me. I have cash for the right property ... but I’m not seeing anything . Other than realtor. Com where should I look

So I’ve heard 11 to 3 is prime post rut time , watch food source , hay fields etc akl the corn and beans are cut near me so only grass / hay .. and some pumpkins on my land .,, not sure weather to hunt the thick woods or edges ,, I’ll be happy with a buck or doe

Not this time of year usually but when i do i make sure to walk a ways out in front of my stand so the deer dont walk straight to the ladder. Not sure why it posted again

Why not now ?

Why not now ?

You guys use drag sent when walking to your stand ??
