Nice deer!

Hey, Nephew just called, someone from the DEC is bringing up dogs to search for the deer. This is what he told me. He made a few calls and the guy on the other line told him you better be sure that the gut pile was from your deer, it's worth double checking on a deer this size. What the hell, guy offered so off they go. Should be in the woods in the next hour or so. Like deer search they use Dachshund dogs to find the deer. Guy told him his dogs have found deer on 5 day old tracks. Weather been good so maybe just maybe the gut pile was from another deer and at some point my Nephew picked up the wrong track?? I'll keep you posted, if he finds this deer it will be an amazing story.

Will do guys, thanks for all the support.

No he didn't check the pile, he is pretty upset, this sucks.

Thanks guys. Well it ended with him finding a gut pile this morning. Tracked the deer to the place where he died. Found no arrow at the site. So it goes at least someone got him. Sam thanks for texting him.

Nice action.

I find myself having the same problems. The more time I have the worse off I get. Good advice eddie.

Good luck finding him, main thing is you didn't push him.

Sam, I going to PM you. He has tracked this deer for about a mile it's back on state land in a one acre thicket. He's not pushing it anymore tonight. He is going back tomorrow morning. Burt

Haven't heard from him. Sam I'll let you know next time I talk to him. I know he has 3 or 4 guys helping out. Thanks

Mom and 4 cubs that was cool, great video!

I think my Nephew has the same problem. Arrow stayed in the deer and little blood. They were still looking at noon haven't heard from him since.

Good luck hope you find him.

That is really cool, thanks for sharing!

Here is the latest, I lost internet service so couldn't post last night. They had to back out because the buck went on to posted property. This property is really thick they didn't want to push him, so hopefully he beds down and expires. Still had blood when it they backed out. He tried last night to get permission but could not get a hold of the landowner. He is trying again this morning and will give me an update.

Hey guys, well here is some proof on how they get broken. My neighbor found this under a tree that has been rubbed this year. It wasn't there two days ago so now we have three nice bucks with half racks running around!

Send her over to Doe and Steve, they like'em with no teeth! lol

love the wide ones, great buck!

3.5 but don't know how wide. doesn't have alot of mass on him, maybe 125 at best.

He just called, shot a big one from the ground at 12 yards with the recurve!!!! He is tracking it now, said the shot was a bit back but angled forward in his pump house. They are tracking it now, bright red blood chucks of lung. More tk......

My liver shot deer went 200 yards after a slight blood trail of 50. Look for every sign you can think of. I actually found hair on a wire fence, he was too weak to go over so he went through an opening. Look for tracks and start doing your circles from the last area you saw her. Good luck.

I would add one more thing. Go talk to the landowners around you. See what it's like and try to feel them out. Some guys leased 60 acres across the road from me this year. If they came to me and asked questions I'd be more than happy to help them out. They didn't and actually came in and turned their truck around in my driveway with me standing there and didn't stop to talk. Whatever, I always go the extra mile it gets you three.

Good luck John!

Oh that looks nice, got to wait a week. Good luck!
