Well guys, I lost my first buck ever with a Ml'er yesterday. I am just sick. I shot him at 7:00 in the morning, and gave him about a half hour before I started to track him. I ended up bumping him out of a bed after about 150 yards. The only time I had blood, was the first 25 yaards, and his bed. I shot him again when he was standing in his bed just looking at me, he was only about 20 yards away then, but I so much stuff to shoot thru, I dont think I even hit him on the second shot. He was bedded right on the bank of a river, and after the second shot, he ran off along the river. I sat down on a downed tree to catch my barings, and about 5 minutes later, I heard 1 shot across hte river. I figured I would give him some time, (if that wasnt him that got shot on the other side) so I drove over to the landowners place on the other side to see if someone over there shot one with holes in. All I wanted was to see if I should keep looking, or if it was a waste of time. He told me that there wasent anyone hunting over there that morning. Well, someone had to be over there, I heard the shot. Anyways, I went back to look some more, and never found another drop of blood, and never did find him. He's not huge, but he would have been my biggest one with the Ml'er. Here he is, this pic was taken just before I shot him. This camera is about 50 yards behind the blind I was sitting in.
