A high musle hit, the deer is not dead. You said it was in the eveing so the buck was real close to his core area, his comfort zone, and if he had no idea you were there he will be back. Stay clear of the area for a week then try again. I think you will see that deer again. As a certifed tracker for Deer Search we would not even atempted to find your deer with a musle hit. Stay calm and give him another try later next week, good luck.

14080 hunting & home, I lucky with that -
If you get the chance harvest him, it's your first buck & you already have a great story to go with it. As said be carefull of the wind, because he will too. Bucks have quite a few bedding spots and very seldome go to the same spot 2 nights in a row. Be carefull and best of luck on tagging that first buck.

I work with a non hunting married lady that has a son I will be taking this gun seson. The entire family never hunted but this kid wants too, he's 14 and I'm looking forward to helping him learn.

Pass without a question. One more year and then he becomes a WNY wall hanger with 40-70% of his antler potential. Guys that take the first deer they see is good, because now there out of the woods for the potential of a 3.5 year or older deer. If you have private land do something there so the deer stay closer to home, that's a whole topic in it's self. But what does work is creatng a sanctury for their protection, believe me they will find it and stay there when pressured.

I started a QDM in Western NY 5 years ago with over 20 neightbors, yes 20! It does work if you have meetings and can stay as a group. Since the program started I have not taken a buck, had chances like the above but electedt to pass. Last year our QDM took 3 140 class bucks......it does work, our next meeting is Nov 17 in Holland to get guys excited about the gun season and again agree on harvest goals. For the next couple of weeks hunt them apple trees....there a magnet !! good luck
