Default RE: Let's Here the Deer Stories...

Here is the story that you hate to tell. This morning at around 7:30 I had a HUGE 10 point walk right under my stand. I stood and came to full draw, the darn thing turned and came right back at me. He was at about 12 yards when I let it fly. He flattened out like he was hit by a truck and them cam to his feet and vanished. I started tracking him at 8:30, I could see my arrow stuck right in the ground where he was standing. At about 8:00 before I even got out of my stand a big Doe was standing right where the Buck was sniffing my arrow. Once i climbed out of the tree and retrieved my arrow I could see the it had passed through. (thankgoodness cause to see your arrow on the ground where a HUGE Buck was kinda makes you think you missed him)However it was a solid hit and looked like good blood. I first must say i have hunted in Michigan and Pennsylvania, this is the first time I have ever hunted in Kentucky. Man are the deer here TWICE as big as up north. This buck must have went ever bit of 250-280 on the hoof. We tracked him all day long until night fall and were unable to find him across a creek. We covered at least 10 miles and up until light vanished the last blood spot was only about the size of a pin head, up to this point it was dime size drops. We never bounced him up and he never bedded down. From the last point of blood we searched 3 hours in the area. Couldnot find another drop to tell us of his location. The land owner said that there are alot bigger ones there on his farm. He shot and 11 point and has found sheds that i have seen of 12's and a 14. We never found the deer. Amazing can shoot foam all day long but when a 10 point walks under you everything you have is shaking...
