I posted last night as LOST BUCK. I was frustrated and did not think I was going to find him. I went back in there early this morning to where I had last seen him. There was no blood to be found because of the far back shot I made. I searched for about a half hour in the area. There was a steep hill leading up to railroad tracks but I did not think he would have gone that way. After a while I decided to check on the other side of the tracks. Sure enough, he was laying on the bottom of the other side in the center of the railroad companies service road. He ended up going around 200 yards from where I shot him but I learned a great lesson....Wait him out. The coyotes got to his hind courters but I still got some meat. Thanks guys for keeping my hopes up last night when I did not think I would find him.
