Well, I finally put one down, but unfortunately it was with a gun. He came by chasing a doe at about 10:00 yesterday morning. Shot distance was 75 yds. severely quartering away. The slug hit low just in front of his rear leg and lodged under the skin in the center of his chest. He went 25 yds. and piled up. When I field dressed him I found that the slug had nearly blown his liver in half and had turned the top of his heart into burger. I recovered it and cleaned it up. I thought it would make a pretty cool souvenir.
I have definitely seen better deer this season. Hopefully I can put one of them down with a bow to help the team.
Good luck to all of you still out there!
