They never death run with my heavy settup...they literally don't know what happened every harvest...the rest were DRT tho

Decent buck (under 100 prolly) main beams were close to the ear it happened fast.

Brother in law hit one this year just as you say. He found the deer but it took a while. Hit lungs and guts. Deer was still alive when found. Good luck and take your time.

Just called in the dogs...I know I got lung liver 

It has only been 2 hrs. since the posted hit. You should be more patient and wait it out but to each their own. Good Luck

How many times have you had to "call in the dogs"  ?

Hey buddy, I know you said nearly broadside, was he quarterinv to you or away from you?  These details are crucial in evaluating every situation

I'm very aware...but I'm just nervous about recovery cuz of lack of blood trail because of the back exit and rain.

As I said before he was nearly broadside but obviously very slightly toward as it exited back a bit further 

the entry was back but still in the long ribs, I saw it on impact...

the only reason I knew it hit liver or a bit of guts was the slight smell on the original quick check of the arrow which I later rechecked and it's just liver no sign of stomach/intestine contents.

Been out behind my home in 3K.  3 doe, and a 3 point on separate occasions.   Antler restrictions here.  Nice to see a buck here.

Dog search take time just to call you back...I'm thinking about 2-3 pm (bout 7 hours on the liver hit)

Again thanks a bunch for the nice words and advice guys...I've been to this rodeo before...I was concerned a bit about lack of blood and plenty of precip, I found first and second blood (15 and 30 past the arrow)...marked them with what I had and backed out.

called the dogs will wait on them and prolly head out mid afternoon with or without them.

Not to stray too far, but how do the dogs do in wet/rainy conditions?  I don't have any experience with real tracking dogs.

Light moisture is actually better for dogs and deer noses on ground scent.

Whenever I remove my release. I attach it to my bow. That way I cant forget it unless I forget my bow

Just had a 4 pointer wander in to 30 yards. He was on high alert the whole time. If he makes it through the season he has a lot of potential to become a very nice buck.

30 more min and I’m done. My body is getting cold.

Well you said you wanted to channel your inner chef. I hit my buck the exact same way, the slightest quarter to. High and back arrow exited low and almost at the back leg. He went 10 -5 yards stopped, kicked and then ran. I waited two hours and found him within 70 yards. You got this

Why not just take a doe for the meat before gun starts?

They do great the moisture keeps the scent in place unless it’s a total washout

I seem to only get about 6 doe on cameras where I hunt here.  Obviously theres more deer, but I just feel like I would be shooting myself in the foot for them to have more fawns, for more deer.  It makes sense in my head at least.  Plus, at my 3M spot theres LOTS of deer.  

[Hock3y24]

Doe and fawn at 15

[Tughill Tamer]

They only had a few left, if you're coming up this way Wednesday I'd pick you up one if they have any left and you could pick it up at my place
