Good stuff Rob, thanks for sharing.

This one was late season in Ohio, 2017 again. I told my wife I was going to try to shoot one that I could take the kids out on the recovery and I saw one late afternoon. Took the shot, .45-70- knew it was good and the deer wouldn't go far.

Called the wife and told her to bundle the kids up and meet me at the property I was hunting on. Got the kids on the trail about 40 minutes after the shot.


The blood was obviously easy to follow. Kids were 2 and 5 I believe at this point, it was their first recovery.




They found it pretty quickly. Although practically tripped over it before seeing it
