Default RE: 34-Team "Heavy Horned" Official Thread

I am hanging my head in shame. Made a bad shot on a Very good buck yesterday AM.I think my arrow deflected on the way and I did not see it hit. Only a 20 yard chip shot from a ground blind. Hate to admit that after 3 decades of hunting a big buck still makes me crap my shorts. Found the arrow. Clearly a pass thru but very little blood on itbutgood blood right where he had been standing. Pulled out and went for coffee and back up crew. Started tracking on a fair blood trail 3 hours later and blew him out of bed. Very little blood in that bed and had been finding clotted chunks of blood on the ground before that. Pulled out again and went back5 hours later by myself and again blew him out of bed. Just a very little clear blood in that bed and he left it like a rocket with his tail up and not buried between his leg. Did not even look hurt. Don'tknow where I hit him. Lots the blood signat least shoulder high.Going out to look again this AM but I have a broken heart. I have a couple good deer on my wall but this would have been my best I think and I can make that shot all day long on paper..Geez
