Good luck…my feeling is that full moons greatly reduce the am activity as many deer are taking advantage of “brighter” nights and stay up feeding. Midday and evenings (as Biz so eloquently remembered my doe in the PM before the full moon phase) are show great activity. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yup flashlights are helpful if you know where to point them. Which adds another component to this thread maybe…what else is a “must have” on a track…I like HunstStand tracking feature and good old fashion TP to mark the track especially dog is required Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

10/19 - 5:50 shot a doe with the Matthews Halon and 100 grain Nap Thunderheads 15' off the ground in a climber to a quartering to doe at 12 yards The shot "felt good" and entered just behind the shoulder. She ran back the same way she came and went up over a hill (rocks, down trees, etc) and out of site. I climbed down after about 25 minutes and could not find my arrow, blood or hair at the hit sight but I saw where she tore up the ground after being hit. I followed the new tracks 20 yards to my arrow that showed very little blood and had a faint smell of gut. Eventually found blood fairly regularly but not really heavy. The earlier blood found was bright in color and seem to have small bubbles which I was excited about. Some of the later blood got "gutty" and made me nervous which is when I was about to back out. Entrance was through Front shoulder which was WRECKED like it was shot with a bullet and exited through the 3rd rib from the back of the rib cage. It hit one lung, liver and sliced the gut which was absolutely LOADED with acorn.

The doe I just shot last night presented so much varied sign that I was about to call off the search and return hours later to only find her laying 10 yards away out of the range of my flashlight. It got me thinking, let's put here any stories of the shot and what follows - share your successes, failures, observations and as much information that will be helpful to future hunters regarding the shot angle. This is not a place for the infamous "void" discussion or being judgmental about shot angles, distances, etc. Stay objective with your posting and add as many pictures as you can. Suggested Format: Date - Time - Region - Weather - Weapon of choice (bullet/type of broadhead) From the Ground or How high off the ground Distance of shot - angle of deer Deer's reaction - direction of travel Hit site/First sign - pics man!!! Pics of blood - color, smell, location How long did you wait before tracking? Observations along the track? Recovered? Backed out? Lost? If recovered - entrance/exit wounds? What was hit? After reading Dead On by John Jeanneney I am fascinated as much by the post-shot work as I am the pre-shot work.

Anyone in this little chat hunt this week? Just saying! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Late post but hunted 3s management property after school today. Wind was whipping so I tucked into a ledge that holds acorns. At 5;00 winds started to die down at 5:45 I caught motion. Delicious doe! She worked straight to me and at 15 yards she was under a close tree so I drew back. She cleared the tree but was head on-no front pocket shots allowed from climbers. She cooperated and turned to her left and I was able to christen my new to me (courtesy of chef’s need for a new bow) Halon. 4 hours later…. I’m going to start a new thread about shot placement and tracking sign since she really threw me off. Happy to have her and the MEAT she will provide!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well it would do my forum fantasy pick some good if you got in there this week and took one of them!!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What you shoot has nothing to do with you getting points…you are picking other hunters to success’s and by the way, does are scoring big so far!!! Can people still join in - most of us have 0’points!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Absolutely…and if it was the chocolate rack 8 from your prop down the road I would for sure take him!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haha..no shot! I was hunting the management program that needs does killed more than bucks. Bucks actually don’t count. I see more spikes there than anything. My text with the program manager: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
