I lost a buck on Halloween day. I made a shot I'm not ashamed of. I waited 5 hours to track. I searched 6 hours the initial day.....and called in a tracking dog and a fellow HNI'er to help on Saturday. I looked 9 hours on Saturday. I searched 9 more hours on Sunday to no avail.

I honestly was exhausted.

I don't know what I could have done differently....but I wish the outcome was different.....and I didn't stumble onto this guy 29 days later (I wish it had been immediate....or at least more timely).

That's the biggie.
