sunday I posted after hitting a monster 12 low. I tracked that night, knew he wasnt hit good so left him overnight. went back the next day, picked up the trail and the blood just stopped. followed tracks for over a hundered yards before losing. no deer.
scouted a new spot on wed morn. found some good buck sign, fresh scrapes and rubs. hung a permanent stand. hunted friday afternoon saw a nice buck come in about 35-40 yards away. he checked the scrape. went back this morning at 10am, took my climber. set up right over the scrape. at 12:04 this 9 point came in. shot him at 7 yds! he ran about 100 yards downhill crossed a creekbed, climbed about 15 yards and piled up. not much blood, took about an hr. to track.
Redemption! 9 point down! @ 7 yds.
