A young hunter I have been schooling on bow hunting call me last night and said he's in his stand and just shot a buck.He didn't see the hit at 18 yds. but as I talked to him as he found his arrow it's covered in blood.He said the deer walked off. I told him to sneak back to the truck and come to myhouse to get me.I gathered the lights and returned , he said the buck was a slight 1/4 towards him ,I found white hair and nice blood for 75yds. then it got to specks. Then some noise ahead and there he is still kicking,he cann't get up and then expires right there while were standing over him. It turns out he hit it about 2or3 ribs from the last and exited in the lower guts. I think he could have run a very long way it alarmed or jumped out of that first bed. he lived over 1 hours.I need to talk to him and explain how lucky he was to recover it,after taking sush a low % shot .It is a 4x3 and he 's getting it mounted.This strong young fellow wants to go on my west hunts but dad said when he gets out of high school in 2 years he can go with me,He is going to be a great asset some day.Now I need to get out to illinios to get my stands up I have 4 sites ready with shooting lanes cut from last dec. and jan. scouting. I am starting to get the fever again.Good luck to all
