RE: Lost A Buck Tonight!
VA - You may want to contact the VA wildlife agency and explain the situation to them. They may we able to help you get onto that property and retrieve your animal. I know that its been done here in PA.
But I know what you must be feeling. My friend arrowed a buck at last light last evening. He let him set all night. We dogged his trial for the from 6:30 to 10:30 this morning. Just spots of blood here and there. So far he's gone about 300 yds. We will be picking up the trail again this afternoon I hope. Last blood was at the start of some high weeds (about 8' high) trails everywhere. We may have to do a back and forth sweep through there. The prognosis does not look good. Bad part is we can't find his arrow.
