Default Found my buck....4 months later
Some of you may remember back during November I gutshot a nice buck. I exhausted myself for days and came up empty. I promised myself I would find him no matter how long it took. Well, four months later I found my buck.

I've been going "shed hunting" for the past couple months but in all reality I have been going to look for my buck. Today was my lucky day after countless hours of searching. I think I was more excited today than I would have been if I found him four months ago. The feeling was out of this world.

I've had bad dreams and even lost interest in shooting my bow because of this past season and the bad shot on this guy. I had a horrible season; not only because of this incident. This is one step in the right direction. I hate that I did not find him back in November but I do thank God that I did find him.

Heres some pics. I'm undecided if I'm just going to do an euro-mount or find a cape and actually have this guy mounted.

Thanks guys! I really appreciate it.

Schultzy: He was around 350-400 yards from point of impact and about 250 yards from last blood.

I also found this guy a couple weeks ago while looking. Too bad I didn't get to him before the squirrels and mice did.

Same question duc, at any time, how close were you to him? Had you looked in the vicinity of where he ended up? Tell us more on the story of the search. It very well may help someone in that situation.

Donnie....couldn't be more happy for you right now!!!

DUDE....this is just awesome news!

Gives me hope I might find a dandy buck my dad shot and lost last year as well.

Thanks for sharing and way to stay positive and keep after this buck.

Was it close to where you were looking or someplace you hadn't really look yet?

Give me a call sometime bro!!
