Great pics as usual jd, that settles it i am goin after a good digital camera over the holidays. As for the wound i kinda go along with what skeeter said. I had a buck once i cracked from quite a distance but i thought i was good for it.Once i got on the blood trail i began to question my shot and replay it in my mind. The blood was not very high up and was only on the right side. The deer was showing me the otherside when i had shot and after studying the track more often i came to the conclusion that he was angling away i shot underneath and clipped the other front leg. Made me sick because it was a shot i have made several times b4 but mis judged distance and blew it. I looked several weeks after in that area for magpies and yotes but nothing. Hard to say if he made it or not. Here is an interesting pic of my elk from this yeaqr with her broken leg, seemed to heal up not to bad. Would be interesting to know how her leg got broke. Skeeter congrats on your deer, keep on keepin on.
