RE: A tough one
Three years ago my dad had something like this happen to him on a very good deer. He shot the deer at 60 yards and he droped like a brick. After a few min. dad got down and while he was getting his gun off the rope he heard sometihng. He looked back at the deer and he was stumbling down the hill. By the time he got his gun the guy across the fence shot at the deer and missed him. This was at 9:30am. We looked for that deer for three days and never found him. All I can figure is his bullet hit just below the spine and above the lungs. Thus enableing the deer for a short time. After that happened to him I sit tite for 30 min. a least even if the deer is laying in front of me. I know if I need another shot I can take it from my stand. It is hard to think about shoting while climing down when my gun is on the ground tided to a rope. Beter safe than sorry. I,m glad you got your deer. Good luck to all the rest of season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
