I posted about one of the bucks I shot, it was actually the day before Greg shot his, I hit the deer in a simillar place and I was raked over the coals for not being able to take off the next to look for it, even before I ever took up a blood trail!! I gave to 2.5 hrs and found him about 130 yds from where I shot him. But I tell ya, man I had some support, but there were many ready to hang me and didn't even know my history or anything.
