RE: Shot a big one need advise (150 class)
Hindsight is always 20/20??
Is that your excuse for knowing nothing about what to do or knowing what to do and not having the willpower to do it because it was a good buck??
You made a terrible shot.......you are the only one who knows the reason for that and has to live with it. Once that happened there is nothing you can do about it but accept reality and stick to the proper follow up........you did NEITHER.
You hurried down and after a poorly shot buck.............he was bleeding bad you said in the beggining.......if you had left him for as long as you should have he would have bedded down not far away and you would have had a MUCH better chance of finding him.
You come here crying for advice????.........there are hundreds of pages of advice available 24/7 and 365 days a year. Maybe if you had taken advantage of all that advice BEFORE you went in the woods you wouldn't be here looking for everyone else to bail you out.
BTW..........I am getting sick of seeing people come on here and say "I know I screwed up bad so no need to pile on or rub it in"..........BS!!!!!! Don't be playing the "I already feel bad" get out of jail free card and expect everyone to feel sorry for you..........the only reason you feel bad is because everything went to hell. You didn't care enough to be prepared and do the right thing in the woods but now we are all supposed to believe you are truely remorseful.
Yea right................this forum is full of guys EVERY year that are only sorry when they don't find their deer.
How someone can post that they did EVERYTHING wrong and then tell people not to point that out is rediculous. You ask for advice???..............AFTER you shoot a big buck poorly and then chase him 2 counties over in less then an hour...........you gotta be kidding.
If you got on him in a 1/2 hour and got him running you must have practically hurried down from your stand right after the shot...........people don't even do that for double lunged deer. The only way you should get down that fast is if you seen him fall.
These kinds of posts turn my stomach.
