I had a complete pass thru on a doe last evening. Bright red blood soaked arrow. No Blood trail at all from what we saw last night. Had a good visual on the way she ran. We looked with a spot light and decided to come back this morning at first light. I came home all the way back to De and will return this morning. Had to call out at work, not good, don't like doing that but you gotta do what you gotta do. So another 160 miles to recover a doe that I hope we find and is ok with the temps, 60 degrees right now at 4:30am. Will let you all know how it turned out later today.

BTW, havn't read much of what's been going on. Will catch up on it all today some time I hope.

Guys i have to tell you that this weather down here is unreal to say the least. It has rained harder and longer than i have ever seen before,
We had 16inches in two days.

One of my stands is sits 25-30ft up but now there is only about 5ft from the water to the stand.
We have about 12 dead or missing within 15 miles of where i live and over 200rds washed out, Never, Never have ever seen anything like this. I will do the best i can to put a buck down but it may be in late oct or nov even dec, good luck guys . terry

All right found her 200 yrds away. It was a tough track with the first drop and I mean drop of blood 100 yards away. Just a drop here and there and none the last 60 yrds. Just a good visual marking after the shot was the cause of finding that first drop.Took me and my partner DaveH an hour and a half but we got it done. Now the not so good news, foxes got to it over night and feasted on the rear end and hind quarter. The rest of the deer was fine. Weighed 95 lbs. Shot entered other side in the pic and got liver and exited the gut on the left side. All bleeding was internal. The blood on the arrow was bright red, thought a liver hit was dark red.

And the fox damage:

Wow RT, havn't heard anything about all that. Stay safe and take care of one another.

Way to go rick, kudos to you for going back to get her also. RTA I am sorry to hear that, i saw it on the news about six flags down there somewhere being flooded and you could only see half the roller coaster it showed. It is nuts. Stay safe!
