RE: Sick to my stomach! Gut shot
Dont go in like gang busters tomorrow. I had the same thing happen to me last year. I shot a nice 8 at 4pm, saw him bed down and backed out. Went back at first lite the next morning and did a real slow hunt on the way in to where I shot him. Found arrow, guts and blood on it, and some brownish fluid on ground along with some blood. Followed and lost trail several times over the course of the next 2 hours(its now 9am, 17hrs after shot) before seeing what I thought was him across a small valley watching me. He then slowly trotted away. I backed out again. Found him 2 days later 40yds from where I last saw him. Coyotes got him pretty good, and I'm still sick about it. In hind sight I second guess if it was actually him I saw or another buck and if I just missed finding him the next day. Give good look.
