RE: Determination pays off..Got my first bow kill!!!!!
First question, Are you hooked?
Second, How long did she sit and in what temp? My buck last year I had to let lay all day in 50' temp. He was still kicking and if I approached he would jump and move 30 yrds. If I continued he would have spooked some monsters bedding down on the ridge. I let him die during the day and recovered him after my night stand. He stunk like hell when I had to gut him but the meat was fine. I didn't keep the ribs but I did keep the roasts and the back straps.
