I hate to break it to ya guys, but I didn't recover my buck. I spent the good part of today looking for him. It was raining/snowing all morning long, then it was just heavy cloud cover this afternoon. Where he went into is a really thick bottom of cattails/willows. You would almost have to step on him to find him. I might take a group of pheasant hunters through there Sunday and hopefully we'll find him if he is dead.
Sorry for letting you guys down, but the bright side is I still have a tag.
