RE: i think i shot a a really nice one....need some input
Rackassasin: I'm feeling for you right now.
I shot a buck in NYS with my 12ga 2 3/4 rem copper slugs while he was looking at me. I found no blood and he ran off like a bat out of hell. I figured that I missed until I walked over thr ridge and my brother-in-law says the deer wnet "ass over tea kettle" just as he was going to shoot. Went about 100 yards and died.
If that deer is not dead then something strange happened with the shot. I hope that you guys can get back in there and do some more poking around.
What ZOne were you in??
