sounds like an awesome time Rob!!

Rybo nice doe! hard to believe there wasnt a trail the whole way...like you said, one of them freak things...good job!! i watched dad do the whole "trail by kicked up leaves" deal a while back in rifle...not a drop of blood...100yds away or so he found his deer...i couldnt believe it..

i didnt have a trail on my buck last year...pass through with 3 blade muzzys...but he only made it 15yds and collapsed...he didnt have time to bleed...holes were there...exit could have been lower, but it was a good shot...like yours, he was full of blood...another step or 2 and it woulda been spraying for sure..funny he laid down on the exit and i could hear him suck through the entrance his last few breaths(he was THAT close) so he was nice and clean for pics...
