Well crap, found him. Got euro back

[74MOPAR]

Got him back.

Been a long few days. Shot this buck about 5:30 pm Saturday. Thought it was a good shot but just a hair low. Had decent blood but lost it after 100 yards. Found another spot about 200 yards away(with dog) Looked from 8pm to 10pm. Had a dog come Sunday looked for 3.5 hours . Went back yesterday looking for buzzards didn't see anything. Went back today and saw buzzards and finally found him. Really hate the meat went to waste but glad we found him. Red is where I shot him, green was last blood , blue is where we found him. Yellow is approximate track. Been kicking myself over this one. It is my best archery deer.

Bummer meat went to waste, but at least you found him. Congrats on nice buck.

 

[TNTreeman]

Glad you found him and didn't give up

 

[megalomaniac]

Glad you recovered him. Lots of folks would have given up and just shot 2 more bucks. You exlimpfied what is is to be a hunter... if you hit a deer, do everything in your power to recover him, even if it's a few days later.

Best archery deer and gave it an honest effort to look for him, and then didn't give up and found him? Win in my book… congrats!

You still fed the wildlife.. they have to eat too!

Nice buck! Congrats and glad you kept at it and found him.

 

[UCStandSitter]

Seems like when they are hard to find it's because they've doubled back. Hard to track for sure. Good buck man. Congrats on sticking with and a nice deer.
