Well I am home. In less then an hour I had 6 people walk in front of me . One set up in front of me . Didn't feel safe so I left. Not one of them even saw me .. 

[SpacemanSpiff]

Woke up at 5 and let the dogs out. The door blew open a million miles an hour with an arctic blast. Crawled right back into bed. Well try it this afternoon. 

[Moho81]

Nothing seen no shots close by. I’m going to give it another 30 and call it a day. I got some work to do around the house that I just can’t put off any longer

I sat pretty much all day yesterday and saw only a grouse wander by.  I slept in today, but I think I’ll take my 7 year old out for the last hour or so this afternoon.

It’s great my friend let me hunt his land, but each time I do , I wish I brought  my chainsaw ! Why mow around the field if you can’t shoot into the lanes ? Heres  my view of the lane in front and behind me .

That would be an awesome day for me this season, or any season seeing 15 deer this late into gun in one day.

I haven't seen 15 the entire season

[Swamp_bucks]

Well I saw a deer, actually a spike/small basket maybe.  Definitely had antlers. I jumped it out of its bed.  I had one hole and let her rip swing and a miss.

However does anyone have a recipe for sapling?  It didn't go anywhere.  

Rather have a clean miss then a bad hit.

Did get bad news the property I hunted today I've had sole permission to hunt and run the property.  Today I found out the last 2 years they've been letting everyone and there brother hunt it.  Its only 20 acres of wood 15 meadow so it doesn't take much to get over hunted. One hit an 8 and lost it last week and another shot one out of there truck.    So after this year I wont be hunting it anymore.  It's a 45 minute drive.  Not worth it if it's getting hunted that hard.  It explains why I haven't seen a deer since october there.  I get it it's there property but a heads up would of been nice.  They are family friends so I'll just go visit them and not worry about hunting it.

I'm sick to my stomach right now. I shot an un alert buck which was at least an 8pt at 933am this morning and cannot find him. I have never lost one with the gun. The shot seemed perfect, just behind the shoulder, mid body, and he kicked when hit. Shot was 30 yards with my .243. Watched him run a short ways uphill and stumble and then hunch a little and he disappeared. No blood until 75 yards into the track and we followed that bright red blood for at least 1/4 mile til it disappeared. Never bumped a deer the entire time either.
I left a message with a local member of United Blood Trackers to see if he would like to come out but for now I am home and just thinking this deer is dead. We followed so much blood and he had to have some building up inside as well. Thanks for reading my vent session.

Bright red....any bubbles?
Coming out both sides? How high were you finding it on sapplings.
What was in the ground at the POI? Hair?

From what described it was a good shot.....typical reaction....and not a problem you didn't see blood for 75 yards.

You most likey have a dead deer....give it an hour and get on the track.

Most lung hits that I have followed have been pretty straight tracks, almost as if they loose the ability to turn after the boiler room is punctured.  If you mark the last few spots of blood, and extend our a straight line, you might stumble across your buck.
