Heart Broken
Hunting from an old barn Friday when a huge 10 point came walking across a wide open field (grown up with about 50 feet wide paths mowed off) used the board on the barn for a rest 70 yard shot quartering away. I shot and he hopped and walked into the tall weeds. After about 15 min I walked down and found small spot of blood and white hair(bad) followed a drip trail for about 50 yards before it quit. Searched the whole area until dark and found nothing else. Went back the next day and looked some more, still no luck. Went back to where I shot from and upon close inspection noticed a branch on a small bush(branch was about the size of my little finger) shot completely in two. I just hope it was minor enough that he isn't coyote bait. By the way a was using a Rem 1100 12 gauge shotgun.
