  1. Reminds me of one about 5 years ago with gun, shot him on the run, in the snow, broke his back left leg. He kept rolling in the snow to try and clot it or something. It also smashed that major artery that runs along the femur? Big top leg bone, shattered. He must have bedded 30 times before I caught up and put him down.
  2. That looks similar to the 2200 yards of tracking I did a week ago, but I had blood spray all over the left side too. Make me wonder, as I have been every hour of every day since, if I just sliced the back strap and single lunged him. I'll just keep beating myself up about until I shoot a big boy.
  3. Those look like deep blood spots man, like it's just pouring out of him. You did the right thing, 2 hours won't hurt him. Good luck, I know that worry feeling all too well. Hope it works out for you better than it did for me.
  4. Is there a "looking forlornly out your 7th floor office window" thread? I'm grounded til Wednesday, thinking about all 12 of those stands just sitting there, empty, lonely.....
  5. Nice buck! Bet you slept good last night.
  6. Oh good they neighbor tells me he shot 5 times at a 10 point brute 100 yards from my hot stand, and missed them all.
  7. Same stand I single lunged that big 8 last Saturday. 7am, watched her for 5 minutes, was really hoping a big boy was with her. All I've had shots at all bow were yearling and fauns. Don't normally shoot a doe on opening day of gun, but I needed a win. 70 yards, double lung, broke the shoulder on the exit. She snow plowed, and went night nights. Big girl, head like a mule.
  8. Looks familiar... Yours is bigger but I was about 30 yards starting this Hanna Barbara cartoon in the eyeball. I need a good cabin so I have an excuse to get a rug made.
  9. Packing in the bibs was the right decision. Wind is getting a little better.
  10. Bears look alot bigger at eye level than from the stand. Sure hope this wind lays down.....
  11. Haven't heard a shot in a while now. Wind is supposed to lay down this afternoon, bet they'll stick to the woods though
  12. 5 minute ride, 30 minute walk. I don't like to bring the ATV within 800 yards of where I'm going to be sitting. Which is why I'm sitting here chewing on eggs wondering how to get into the stand without getting sweaty......
