Sorry everyone, I had alot of bad luck this year and did not get one on the ground. I shot a buck on the 6th of November and hit him bout halfway between the heart and the spine, directly above the heart. I thought it was a good shot and about 20 minutes after I shot him it started to rain. So, I got down and started tracking. It was good blood even with the rain I didnt have any problems following it. We found three different beds and my arrow in the third bed. And that is the last sign we found of the deer. I know he is dead somewhere in the area but we could not find him. He would have been in the 130 range. My 10 year old came out with my brother so I was trying to get him a shot at one for half of my trip. He did miss a doe twice but he loved it.....lol He's already talking about going with us next season. I also missed a buck while he was in the tree with me. It was in the 120 range so that added to his excitement. Then a few days ago, Jan, 14th I missed another deer. It was a button buck that I thought was a doe until he came directly under me and was munching on some cedar branches I had cut off the tree behind me. I probably could have taken another shot at him but didnt want to wound him so, I passed. Hope everyone had a little better luck than me.
