Too Hunt or not Too hunt?!
Longtime reader/First time poster!
Here is my dilemma. Have roughly 250 acres of farm, timber and swamps andI have seen some VERY big deer (160+) over the last few years in the swamps. I have chosen a spot that I think is gonna give me the best chance to take one during bow season. Going out this weeked to start with the mineral treatment in a few select spots to try and keep them close. My main worry is shooting one of these hosses and him disappearing into one of my swamps and never finding him... My stand is less than 15 yards from the edge of the swamp to the front, 35 yards to the x-way behind me, and roughly 100 yards of easy to see thru timber toboth sides. There is one main trail and 2-3 secondary trails I am setup over that run the edge of the water and freeway. I just keep dreaming I am gonna hit him hard and he is gonna turn directly into the swamp. ANYTHING I can do or any suggestions as to being able to locate after a hit??
