Thanks Tony, I just posted it up this evening because I had to go out of town Tue.
I heard a deer comming (running) and seen a doe comming right at me. I knew she was eitherspooked or that a buck would be chaseing her. I was already standing because I hardly ever sit so I grabbed my bow and drawed. Sure enough a buck was on her tail and she came right into my set up and stopped at 10 yards. The hard part was already overbecause I drew before I even seen him. He came in at about 25 yards trying to heard up the doe. At 22 yards he turned broadside andI let the Rage 2 blade go. No pass thru and that is the first shot in many years that I didn't get a pass thru. I watched the bright red luminock glow as the buck ran off into the thick woods and disapear. It looked like a good hit but looked forward. I thought I would be safe and sat there for 2 1/2 hours before getting down. No blood at the shot site so I headed to where I last saw the luminock glow. I found blood, a good amount but not what I expected. Again this is the first deer I havnt seen fall or heard crash in many seasons. I trailed the blood for a hundred yards and knew I had a problem. It came to an open hay field so I scanned the field and saw nothing. I replayed the shot over in my head but it just wasn't adding up. No way could this buck be hit in the lungs like I thought and go this far. A bit reluctant,I decided to continue on with the trail across the hay field. The trail was heavy in spots and hard to follow in others. The deer was definantly walking. I'm getting very concerned as I get to the next patch of woodsover a half a mile from where I started the trail. Something is bad wrong but I knewthe deer had lost a bunch of blood and surely couldn't be much farther. I get about 50 yards into the next patch and see my luminock glowing with half my arrowin a huge pile of blood but no buck. Now in my head I'm cussing every SOB on HNI who was bragging up the Rage 2 blade. .I continue on and about 30 yards farther I see him piled
up. Well at the shot the buck must of turned into the arrow because he had a whole in his neck you could of put a baseball in. In the neck and down into his chest. I remember the doe running off to my right after the shot so I figure she must of tried to get away from him and he was going to chase after her all at the time of my release. It went into the neck anddown intothe right lung. The other half of my arrow was loosely laying inside the buck. A hour and a half of trailing and 3/4 of a mile away from shot site I recovered my buck. I can't blame the Rage because the shot turned bad without me realizing it. I do think that my cut on contact head would have went thru though. So there it is, a late season Kansas buck playing with a doe and about causing me a heart attack.

great job on the buck. i havnt been around much lately mainly due to finals coming up this week. i hope to hunt a bug 8 that has been seen on my granpas farm that usually doesnt hold any deer but i hopefully will have a chance to get out in the woods. its gonna be cold but i hope the cut corn will provide the late season food source to draw them in. heres a question, what food do deer go to when there is a layer of icy snow on the ground?
