As some of you know, I shot this deer last thursday. My buddy and I had watched him chase does for four nights in a row in the same spot but couldn't get close enough to get a shot due to the wind. Finally, the wind was perfect, I snuck in and hung a stand and within 20 minutes I heard him stand up out of his bed. He walked right to me, 25 yard shot, hit him right in the liver, Not exactly what I was wanting but it worked out. I didn't find him until last Saturday. Definitely not my biggest but after hunting hard for 10 days while I was EXTREMELY sick, I'm very happy and fortunate to have killed him! Anyhow, here he is!94959496

Nice buck.That sucks you couldn`t find him.How far did he go?

well congrats and sorry you didn't recover him sooner, it happens, and even as is, its still better than not finding him and wondering !

Congratulations! Such a shame you couldn't find him right away but I'm glad you did find him.

Thanks guys, he went about 250 yards, but he was in the thickest, nastiest thicket you've ever seen! you literally cannot get through it unless you're on a deer trail. I hunted all morning saturday and he was 50 yards from me and I didn't even realize it!

Nice buck! Its a shame that you couldn't find him sooner, but i guess coyotes have to eat too.

Great plan and great deer!! Yeah, that happened to me last year as well. Find a good taxidermist and he will make him look as good as he should!!

I think I'm just gonna do a euro mount on him. He's not really big enough to be "wall worthy". He may go 125-130 tops. Not that I'm not proud to have him but I think he'll look good euro style.

Congrats on a very nice buck. It happened to me a few years ago. It stinks not finding them
