Default RE: Another IL buck stuck

Looked all day yesterday with no luck it rained all day and we had no blood trail. Went back out looking this morning and jumped him out of his bed. We seen the that the arrow had struck very high on the shoulder right under his backbone. He seemed to be limping a little and probably a little stiff but seemed to be pretty healthy as he trotted out of range and then begin to walk off. There was no blood in the bed that we jumped him from. Unfortanately it wasn't the outcome we had hoped for but at least its the next best thing. We both believe he will heal and live another day. It had been about 23 or 24 hours after the shot when we jumped him up.
