well i went out again today had to move stand position because a friend let me use his spot when i saw those and of course he now wanted to hunt it because i was seeing deer so i moved like 200-250 yards away and set up another portable in the last minute justto get out in the woods for a few hours today(had to help a buddy buther a small button buck he got on opening day) well it was like 20 minutes before dark and i was set up on a nice run 15 yards off and surprise surprise here comes a real nice doe and 2 skippers with her and of course they werent on the run i thought they should have come in on well i had a 25 yard down hill shot with her quartering away almost textbook so i took it and i hit her, but now my bad luck strikes again, i swear i hit her really good in the vitals so i saw her run 40 yards and stop and i stayed in my stand till like 30 minutes after dark and then climbed down to go look for my arrow and i could not find it. so i go look where i saw her standing till i lost sight of her due to the dark and there was a massive pool of bright red blood, well everything sounds good so far right? well i trailed her for over a mile and came to a road and i lost the trail must not have been as good as i thought it was, i dont really know now. well i am going to go back in the mourning and see if i cant find her.
but hey i just want to say thanks for the support it really does help the younger inexperianced guys who are making mistakes feel better to know others have been there done that
