two years ago,my wife shot at a real nice mature 8 pt. two times in about 5 min.first miss was just under him,he jumpet and walk around,anout 5 min. later he was still there and came in again,she shot and cut white hair from under his bellie.[:' (]
She didn' t go back sunday,and I went there monday.at good light he was there again,his mistake.I took him home.[8D]she said it was the same deer and he had a spot of hair cut.

that same year I had a big 8pt. come up behind me.he say me but didn' t reall get spooked,just walked off.I would rattle real lightly and rake the bark of the tree I was in.he would walk back with his tail real high.several times.never gave me a shot.
That was the last time I ever saw him?????[:' (]

go back and wait on him.you never know if he will come back or not.
