Thanks to HNIthread what to do after the shot. and a great thanks to who i don`t remember that sead to read the book "
Trailing Wounded deer by John Trout" This book is with out a doubt a must for any hunter,
Sunday morning i was sitting in my summitt stand that was on the edge of a small field. I had been watching deer all morning doe`s mostly.
When at around 10:30am i cought a glimps of a buck moving in my direction,
At first i thought of not to even shoot this buckbut after watching him get closer and closer i decided that i wanted him, I stood up as the buck was starting to move behind my stand, I made a small grunting sound with my voice to stop him.
Well he stopped alright but was right on the edge of a big thicket one more step and it was over he would be gone, At 30 yrds
I took aim and just as irelease the arrowhe stepped,[:'(] The arrow hit right through his gut ( I sead under my breath Ho! No!)
He jumped and ran for about 20yrds and then just stood there for a second then just walked off,
I knew not to tail him right away, So i climb down walked over to where i shot him and sure nuff there was my arrow with the old green stuff and blood mixed.
I was shooting a rocky mt sniper broadhead and these things Really cut a whole!
I left the woods and went back home which was about 30miles away,
(The book that i had bought by john trout Trailing wounded deer)keeped running through my head on what to do and what to expect about the shot? He sead in this book that if you leave and do not start trailing right away that the deer will most often bed down and die within 10-150yrds from where the shot was made this i aleady knew but it helps to be "reassured"I became more confident that i could find this Buck!
After waiting for over 6hrs, I returned to the area to where i made thisshot and begain to pick up the trail, But the blood had dried and i could not hardly find any sign at all only Fresh tracks that he left as he walked away.
After i don`t mind saying so I prayed very hard for a littlehelp on finding this buck that i knew would die,
I walked about 50yrds and lost any and every sign of this deer, So i just keepedthinking that this deer would most likely be another 100 yrds or so? I begain to walkthe way i last saw him after and about 20yrds ikneeled down and looked as far i could see? (There was my buck about 40yrds up the tail and a hole right through the gut).
Thanks again to HNI What to do after the shot, And the book Trailing wounded deer by John trout.
