Fast forward to this weekend. We were bow hunting and my buddy busted the next biggest buck on the hit list. We tracked the deer with a solid blood trail for over 1/3 of a mile then noticed a rack sticking out above the grass. Excited, we ran over to the deer thinking it was my buddies and low and behold it was my deer! 7 weeks to the day! My buddy's deer's blood trail led me right to my buck! Finally some closure. It was driving me insane! We are heading back out tomorrow to finish the search for his. Confident we'll find him...
