Default RE: i think i shot a a really nice one....need some input

Sorry, I forgot the picture. I shot this buck this October. I shot it with a 100 grain Muzzy from 30 yards away quartered. I thought I missed because the buck walked away and the arrow was deep in the ground. I went to get my arrow an hour later and saw massive amounts of blood. I waited several hours before tracking and the blood trail went from a horror movie, to drops, to pin points. I marked my last spot with tape because it started to rain and there was no more blood. I found it two days later by walking in circles from where I last marked it. I was able to find it by smell and crows. I was glad to recover it , but it was chewed up bad and the meat was garbage. I had just nicked the lung and it had exited out the center of the chest. The deer was dead the day I hit it and was found only twenty yards from where I last marked blood. Needless to say it was too small for club rules and cost me a $100.00 fine but it was a nice buck anyway. It had gone onto another property and the landowner would only allow us to track does on his property (what an as#hole)but the second day after I shot it I snuck onto the land and recovered it. This thread made me think of it. I also jumped my buck while tracking it and thought it would drop.
