dont feel bad it happens to every one. my buddy shot a big ten pointer and tracked for two days. one week later the neighbor shot it and it still had the arrow of my buddies in it. then yesterday he shot a real big 10 or 12 point. we waited two hours. there was blood every were for about 150 yards. then it kind of stopped. looked up and saw him get up about 40 yards. he took of real slow and we backed off for two more hours. Same thing happend. we waited till this morning and we saw him chaising two does. damn tuff deer. so dont feel bad too bad, he is done hunting for the year, and he will be eating back tag.
