bigbuckkilla89 Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Sorry it took me so long to post about the deer I shot Sunday morning. We went out at 12:30 to look for him. I shot him at 7:00 that morning so that was 51/2 hours. We got to where I marked the blood and started tracking him. We lost blood after only 70 yards or so. So we started walking circles trying to pick up the blood. We finally found a few drops about 50 yards from the road a good 300 yards from where we lost the blood. We knew that if he crossed the road there was no way we were going to find him without blood. We walked the woods paralleling the road and found nothing. We searched the whole woods and found nothing. I am guessing he crossed the road into another woods I hunt but I walked over there and looked around Monday and couldn't find anything. My grand father said that in his experience even with a gun if you knock one down and he gets back up and runs offs you usually dont find em:(:(:mad::(. I was disgusted needless to say I searched even after my grandpa left for about 3 hours until almost dark. And I searched the other woods for 2 hours. I just feel so crappy because I couldn't find him I hate hitting deer and wounding them. Its our job as hunters to take ethical shots and even when a perfect broadside side is botched by a ducking deer you just feel so disgusted that you wanna quit hunting (and I even thought about it). Well I'm kind of rambling now so I'm gonna sign off. GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY HUNTING.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbeck Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 You have done everything right, it won't make you feel better but the only thing you can do is your best. Keep at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Sounds like the deer will be fine. Probably a muscle hit. Get back out there. Misses and poor hits happen to everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 (edited) Yep, it happens. All you can do is make sure that it wasn't your fault. Check your sights and make sure their on. And make sure you've practiced the type of shot you're trying to pull of.
