Last update for the night. I got Permission from the landowner to continue the track. He has a large property and allows no hunting, so my buck should be safe from people in there. We pushed him a long way today and after watching him in the ravine, I really Think he’s gonna lay up and die if we leave him be. It’s gonna be a sleepless night, but I’ll be back after him in the morning.
Best of luck dude!

Good luck getting him
Thanks. Hoping he's still out and he can get acquainted with Remington.

Hope WNY gets his buck, but it reminds me of something that happened one week ago that I didn't have time to share. Check out these photos. A neighbor shot a deer and this was the blood trail. We tracked for about 400 yards or more through ravines and thick wood. Eventually we found the last of 4 bloody beds and then tracks leading into a large open field, no more blood. He was sure their would be a dead buck after a 50 yard track. 3 days of searching revealed no carcass. The beast appears to have survived. In all likely-hood it was a muscle shot, which can bleed profusely at first before clotting kicks in. I never saw a blood trail like it that ended in no deer recovered.
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.

Around 9 I had A big buck with a very dark rack step out. I waited Until he was in a shooting lane and pulled the trigger. He face planted and then got up and took off into some thick stuff. It looked like a good hit, so I went To see the spot where I shot Him. Found 6 places where he had fallen down and was bleeding heavy. Ended up tracking about 300 yards and decided to back out. Now I’m sitting at home driving myself nuts. My brother in law is going to come over in an hour or two and we will get back on the trail. Here’s a pic of one of the spots I found. I should Have backed out immediately but I didnt Think he would go far. I’m pretty sure this buck is one of the big 10s I’ve had around here. If it’s not him, it’s another big 8 I’ve seen. Those are the only 2 with really dark racks.
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.

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.

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.

Packing in the bibs was the right decision. Wind is getting a little better.

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

30 min ATV ride to stand?! Where are you hunting, alaska?
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......

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.
