Team #40

I gotta say I had 3 of us looking for 6 hours today ,all to no avail[:@]. We found blood and quite a bit for the 1st 60 yards ,then at anintersection of 3 major trailswe lost all sign as the blood completly stopped. We all looked on different trails back and forth and criss cross through out the bush.
We were down on our hands and knees lifting leaves for 40 yards all around where the last blood was seen. . You know what ,I don't feel bad about the loss either[>:],I can't believe I just said that.I'm actually not feeling bad about the shot either. I either had a completepass through,but no arrow was foundor he still has the arrow in him. We found a tuftt of hair about 2inches where the hair was cut and no blood. I'll have to leave this area for a week at least as we laid down some human scent all through out the bush. It's a 40 acre parcel and we covered it all. Some awsome scrapes we found that showed up over night and the bush is litterally shredded from rubs. In all the years I have hunted,I have never seen the bush beaten up like this is.. Looks like it could be awsome for the rut,I just hope we haven't pushed every animal away for to long. SO I won't hunt now till Tuesday night.That's bow hunting guys,I'm sorry I didn't recover the animal,but we didn't find any sign of it being hurt to bad ,so maybe he'll live to walk another day. Maybe ,just maybe he'll be buzzard food too[:'(]. Keep your heads up guys,we'll start laying them down soon enough. Ouch.
Rocky.

Sorry to hear about the buck Rocky. Things will be turning around soon.

RE: 40- Official TEAM 40 Thread!
 

same thing happened to me and my friend last year he shot a buck that weighed easily 275. he shot it good and everything we tracked it for hours and never found the deer we saw him running around later when we were tracking but never recovered him.there was blood everywhere. we had 3-4 dogs even a ranger like 5 people and we tracked for over a mile and never found him or saw him again.i think the bucks will do absolutely everything possible to fight their death. even if they suffer

Thanks for the support,that's what team support is all about. I'm justpraying it's not the monster that came onto the field 40 yards away from me and circled and came back from my blind side. He was 180 plus and 400lbs on the hoof.I actually had to pick up my binoc's top see if he wasn't a moose.[&:]. Good luck guys ,can't wait to get buck up in the saddle tomorrow.
