We walk up on the buck on his death bed 23 hours after the shot. He was holed up where he decided to give up. We were in shock when the deer struggles to get up...It had to take him 5 seconds to get to his feet he was totally disoriented. He was banging into trees and then he begins to walk away and then picked up pace. I should have ran and jumped on him but i froze because he seemed to be so week and i thought he was done and would fall over
You hit him in the guts. If you had hit that buck between the shoulder blades or at the base of the neck no tracking would have been necessary.
Mauser, Lungs, diagrham and guts would have been hit with the shot depending on the angle of the shot.
