Never saw a deer after 7:30am... Would've been a beautiful day to fish... Sent from my moto g fast using Tapatalk

Awesome. What's your prediction on age? Sent from my moto g fast using Tapatalk

I'm in for an all day sit. I'd believe it won't be anywhere as good as it was last week but I'll let you know in 11 hours! Sent from my moto g fast using Tapatalk

Yes, exactly. I failed to execute. That's all on me. I don't hide behind BS excuses. The fact that you thought you would take the opportunity to beat me while I'm down says a lot to your character. I'll take the higher road I guess and not say what I would love to say to you... Sent from my moto g fast using Tapatalk

All of the scenarios you listed are a result of terrible shooting. Sometimes you have to blame the Indian... Sent from my moto g fast using Tapatalk

How much meat gets destroyed with a double lung shot? What does the caliber have anything to do with only caring about antlers? I realize you like thumping the bible, but the preaching gets old. Sent from my moto g fast using Tapatalk

243, hands down, no question. I guess I must be the guy who only cares about antlers? (Wolc needs therapy). Sent from my moto g fast using Tapatalk

I got a bit of good news from my mishap the other day a little while ago. I texted my buddy who has property that butts up to our lease and asked him to let me know if anyone finds a dead buck in the coming weeks. Well, tonight my buddy hunted and had that buck at 10 yds before he got busted trying to draw on him. I never told him where I thought I hit the deer beforehand and he described the rack and exactly where I thought the wound should've been. The buck was dogging a doe. Makes me feel a little better knowing he's not laying somewhere dead. Sent from my moto g fast using Tapatalk

I would agree, albeit I have no direct history with the deer but I wouldn't have guessed anywhere near 5.5... looks like a solid 2.5, maybe 3.5. Sent from my moto g fast using Tapatalk

Broadside, maybe a hair toward but if it was it was almost non-existent Sent from my moto g fast using Tapatalk

No beds, no stopping that I could tell. Sent from my moto g fast using Tapatalk

6C/7C is most likely. Maybe it was higher than I remember seeing? Definitely a large portion of arrow hanging out as he ran off but I could not find it. Sent from my moto g fast using Tapatalk

My best estimate is 6C, no loud crack, just a real solid, hard thump, arrow was hanging out entrance side as he ran off. Penetration certainly was a concern from what I saw. Sent from my moto g fast using Tapatalk

Well after 4 hours of trying to advance last blood I backed out. After 200 yds he was just dripping and the only way I could continue the track was by seeing where he brushed up against small brush. I probably tracked him 400 yds total. Maybe the bubbles in the blood in this case weren't lungs after all? I couldn't find the arrow, I even backtracked and still didn't see it. He went into a really wet swamp. It's more water than land. What I thought was him crashing was him going down the steep backside of the ridge. It appears he started using his front leg again judging by the trail. I'll go back in the AM and grid search awhile. He turned near last blood and headed back towards 200 acres of really thick hillsides and more wet swamp. I did kick up 2-3 more bucks in there, one was same basic size rack wise but if it was him he went straight up a huge ridge seemingly fine, 3.5 hrs after the hit. From the highest of highs to the lowest. At this point I'm hoping it was all shoulder and he survives. pics below are from a dead run in the first 200 yds, he bled like crazy, then almost instantly it stopped. I've never shoulder hit a deer before so I'm not sure if that's consistent with that type of hit or not. My buddy hit one in the shoulder a few years back and he says it was the same blood for them, great to nothing. They actually saw the buck the next day chasing does in a field.

It's not looking good, great blood, bubbles for 200 yds, now I'm only seeing when he brushes up against saplings... Sent from my moto g fast using Tapatalk

Saw immediate blood pumping out, bubbly too. I thought I heard him crash but I'm playing it safe. Gonna wait a bit longer before trailing. I thought he bulldozed a brush pile too but it could have been because he wasn't using his front leg. I'm confident somewhat that he's dead, but I'm always apprehensive about weird looking shots. Hopefully it hit the offside shoulder and I don't have anything to worry about... Sent from my moto g fast using Tapatalk

Got decent penetration but not as much as I expected, 25 yd shot, great blood 5 yds from hit, I saw blood fly out of him as he ran, bubbles in blood too. I possibly heard him crash but not certain. pretty 8 pt Sent from my moto g fast using Tapatalk

Just shot a buck, I'm a little concerned I may have caught the shoulder but I saw good blood and heard a lot of crashing after he went out of sight Sent from my moto g fast using Tapatalk

the action for me has really come to a halt this morning compared to the last 3 days... Sent from my moto g fast using Tapatalk

That big 6 just came out of bedding and went in swamp, closest shot I had was 55, didn't take it Sent from my moto g fast using Tapatalk

Well this afternoon was slow until the last 25 minutes when a big buck came out of the swamp, he stayed at 50yds and I couldn't pull him closer despite my best efforts. He'd stand and watch for 5 minutes every time I called but wouldn't commit. I even grabbed a limb and shook the hell out of it as a last ditch effort, to no avail... Saw 5 bucks today, 4 of them shooters, 5 does, and missed one due to something stupid on my part. Another all day sit tomorrow... Sent from my moto g fast using Tapatalk

Same here the last 3 days, outside of mid day it's alot slower Sent from my moto g fast using Tapatalk
