Good decision to pass on the shot. Wounding the deer would have made you much more miserable. I had almost the identical thing happen to me last Tuesday first thing in the AM. I passed and my patience paid off at 12:30 PM. A big P&Y 8 point came by and offered me a nice 20 yard broadside shot. No tracking necessary on that one. I would rather had the buck in the morning but I have been on the long blood trails that end up with no deer at the end. It's an awful feeling and I'll try to aviod it at all cost. Even if it means never taking a shot. Tag sandwich is better than wounding a deer. Good Luck. He or another will be by sooner than you think.
