    It sucks

    Cynthia, I just had this happen opening day.  I saw a doe crashing through the woods with a buck with a bummed leg from an arrow.  I tried to put her down.  I shot the buck first of course and then changed gears to take her as well knowing she was injured.  After I tagged my buck.  I looked over two hours for her up and down mountains, replaying the shots and the entire 5 mins of craziness.  No blood to follow but I knew she was hit and hit bad because of the way she acted.  I called friends and even had my daughter out with me the next day to grid search the entire area.  I put about 6 to 8 hours into the search.  Looked in brush, crawled on my knees through spots I never thought I could get out of.  The other day (3 days later)after it snowed, I walked around my property to look for scraps, rubs, and other deer activity for Muzzle season.  It was over 2 miles away from where I shot her.  The doe with a bum leg was under a log in a stream.  If I didn't almost step on her, I would have never seen her.  I was upset, disappointed and asked myself what else I could have done.  I think some would have given up after the 2 hrs and the next day.  Don't be hard on yourself, you are doing all the right things. Like someone mentioned in this thread before, you will lose one throughout your time hunting and IT SUCKS, but knowing you did everything to find her is all you can do.

    I agree with you, not mad about the cameras more pissed that I've been scouting and hunting hard for weeks for a let a spot settle for a few weeks for the last weekend and got my last weekend jacked by a jacka$$.  Just frustrating!!!

  3. Not really happy this morning, had about about 2 hr sit this morning before having to attend a conference for work.   I really wanted to pull my cards to see the activity for the last weekend.  As I walk towards the spot where I placed my cameras, I noticed I don't see the straps holding them up.  Yes someone came on private property 30 min walk from a road or field and jacked two fo my cameras.  I will be knocking on doors later today, knowing I will never see the cameras again, it's just super frustrating someone would do that not on their property.

  4. Anyone hunting in Region 5S/5R.  I have seen alot of doe movement, but nothing chasing at all?  Been out last two weekends.  The doe are still paired up and no bucks following!!!  Hopefully this weekend will be different.
