Thanks guys. I may leave work early tomorrow and and make the long venture up there again to see if I can see buzzards, crows or yotes.

JM- I did rangeobjects around me, but in the past three years I've never been offered a shot at that point because the deer are always facing me. Unfortunately, I know the distance now. Also, there is a branch that was there last year and isn't this year, so between those to reasons I didn't even think of ranging it. It was kind of like a "pre-conscience" that says "you can't shoot back there."

Droptine- I'm 100% positive they were his tracks, all the other deer went left where he turned back towards the creek and they were the same set before I found blood, during the blood, and after the blood (at least to the creek). And I assure you I looked in the THICKEST stuff... everywhere. I did walk back and forth quartering into the wind hoping to smell a stench, but it was unsuccessful.
