wow...pretty odd he crossed the open fields....that would been one of the last places i would have looked in all honesty...just seems odd he would do that when he was wounded...looks like a good stretch of field he crossed too....amazing animals....
congrats again!! thats a real nice first buck....
That was our thinking too. We couldn't believe he crossed it. Only thing I could think of, was that maybe that was his "domain" back there and he just "went home". I'm not sure either, or maybe something else (don't know what) bumped him on across.
Back over by where I shot him, it's rediculously thick. My legs are cut and scratched and were bleeding yesterday from the briars I was walking through trying to find him. Like you said-- amazing.
