Shot this buck in Late September. He was 25 yards away, quarting away at about 2 o' clock. I shot him and watched him walk off for more than 150 yards with the arrow tucked behind his shoulder. After two hours we tracked him that evening until 1am. Went back the the next day and tracked him until noon with four other guys. All in all we tracked him 450 yards until the blood ran out. The buck never lied down, just walked at a steady pace. I went back that afternoon and looked for two more hours. Went back the next day for a couple hours. Set up my stealthcam and went back a week later lookin for birds, since nothing showed up on my cam. No birds. I didn' t touch that area for a month before I set my cam up again. I couldnt' believe that I " lost" a deer.......

Well I didn' t. He was on my camera just last week.

Since we' re talkin about it. My dad took this 14 point in early October. He said he got a really good shot on it. We gave it two hours before starting the trackin job. It was past 2am and we had tracked this deer for a mile before finding it.
