Your advise pays off (kinda)
 
I posted a question a few days ago about hunting the mid-day hours. Well I took the advice and was in my stand until 11:15 when the only buck I have had within bow range comes in. He was a 3 1/2 yr old 9pt. That was the good part, the bad was I rushed my shot and landed high and back. Here comes the funny part. I waited an hour before I got down and went back to my truck. So I was sitting on my tailgate when I see a deer crossing the road, I saw it was limping and ran down to get a look, I looked throught my bino's and he had an arrow sticking out of his side. This is an 1 1/2 hr later than I shot him. He had ran a mile and just happened to cross the road. I looked for 5 hours and never found any blood or the deer. This SUCKS.

So where is the funny part again?

Nothing funny about that:eek:. Hopefully the deer will recover and you will get another shot at him. It is quite a coincidence that he would cross in front of you later on. Its a sign to go get 'em. Good luck
