My suggestion is to direct your pop to read the "What to do after the Shot" thread pinned to the top of this forum and read it together
i might be able to,,but the only thing is he thinks that i spend to much time on here and that since this is on the internet that yall can say what ever u want and it may not be true,,,,,the one reson i come on here is for help with my problem so i trust that yall tell the true,,and i thank yall for it cause this is a great place to be and discuss thing,,

I bet if it was a 150 class buck he'd have looked all night and into this morning.
your right that is what he said if it was a buck he would have been out there lookin for it

This hunt was a nightmare from the start.........shouldn't have been hunting late if you had no time to track. Should have known the hit wasn't great before going after her........should have waited longer no matter what the hit was.........once you jumped her the LAST thing you want to do is keep pushing after her........and the culmination of this comedy of errors is giving up basically because he didn't feel like looking any more.
we started huntin about 4:30 but it was late when he shot,,he said that he could hardly see the outside of his sight ring,,but i dont know if it was that bad of a hit,,,course i would have had to been if we pushed her that long,,but he said that there was a good thump,as if it had gone though the chest,,but i dont know,,honestly if i could seen the outside sight ring i would not have shoot,,,even though i have practiced shooting at dusk i would not feel that i would have had the confidence to do it

I have a few problems with what yer dad did. #1 he is a farmer and he can set his own hours NO EXCUSE. #2 common sense if you jumped it it obviously needed more time to die. #3 I know what yer dad is thinking, oh well that is one more that won't be out there eating my corn and soybeans. You always follow thru with the recovery, at least give 100%
he is a farmer but he work on a farm for some one else,,other wise i ampretty surehe would have been lookin for it,,,,
