Well how about making a good public example of yourself and turn yourself in then.  That way, both deer would not be wasted but would go towards feeding the needy.

Doing something I dont think I’ve never done before. I slept in and did not go out into the woods but instead I’m going to do the afternoon hunt.

I am the opposite. In the past 10 yrs, I can count on 1 maybe 2 hands the number of morning hunts I have been on.

I typically don't do afternoons but the transition from bow to gun season changed everything.only movement I'm seeing is afternoon and it's within that 30 min after sunset

Usually when I can only do a half day hunt it’s a morning hunt because I have something going on in the evening.

I could have hunted this morning but yesterday was really busy so I decided to sleep in (made it to 6:45am lol).

Sightings have been so low that I should just lounge around the house all day and get things done here but a bonus to the afternoon hunt is I’ll have my daughter with me for company.

You got to do better than that. I am still seeing troll or lazy , scared of the cold Econ officer.  Only way we will know for sure is if you post a picture with your face and both deer in it.

wonder if we will see that ace ?

So again, this has been a crazy season for me…actually crazy several seasons. I only started bow hunting in 2017, deployed in 2018, so this year is my 4th year. In 2017 and 2019 I saw some huge 10 pointers on my property, never got a shot at them (well to be honest I did but terribly missed, since I had no idea what I was doing).
 

Fast forward to last year when EHD hit, I saw zero bucks all season. I was going out every single day throughout bow and gun season. This year I did not have high expectations, since I heard that EHD was back. Well I got a little 7 pointer early November, who was the first deer that I even saw out there. I’ve been bow hunting since then, because I figured I already got one buck, it wouldn’t be fair to get another deer with a rifle at that point. Well I didn’t see a single deer since that little buck, until yesterday. I thought he was an 8 pointer when I shot him late at dusk, turns out he’s a 10! 
 

I started tracking him this morning, which took a total of 3 hours. I will never use these Montec G5 broadheads again. 
 

We all know how frustrating and discouraging tracking can be. I even called Deer Search. At one point the blood trail started leading downhill, and I could see for several hundreds yards in every direction, and could see that there was no dead deer in sight. If I continued to look for tiny specks of blood on my hands and knees, it would have taken a week. So instead I decided to just walk in the same general direction and hope to get lucky. Well…I did! I ended up walking into an area where there were rubs and scrapes everywhere. So I figured this is definitely where he went. Sure enough, after checking several scrapes, I found some that had blood in them (btw why did he do that?). I walked another 100 yards in the same direction, and finally stumbled upon him. 
 

Looks like a fighter. One of his ears has a bite out of it, and all the points of his antlers are worn down.

Broadheads have nothing to do with it. Shot placement does. Lol

Nice work! Going forward I would follow the tiny specs of blood any day vs being lucky. Your hero pics makes me lol, not in a bad way I like the enthusiasm.
