I finally got an opportunity this morning. Got in the stand around 6:15 and saw this guy coming at me around 7:30. He was grunting, nose to the ground and wouldn't stop for me to shoot. I picked an opening and released once he got there about a 30yrd shot and to my dissatifaction I hit him too far back. I gave myself 30% recovery on this deer once I seen where the arrow struck. I waited an hour and high tailed it out of there at 8:30. I always tell my self "when in doubt, back out." I returned at 2pm and pick up the trail. The blood trail consisted of a drop every 10 ft. I thought this deer was just injured. I come out to the power lines and I see a brown shadow in the high grass. It was him with the arrow still in him. I had hit the gut and sliced his liver. Boy was I happy. He is my biggest bow buck to date.
