YEEESSSS Congrats!!!!!!!! Well done!

UPDATE - Buck Found
 

Thanks guys for all the positive input I got last night even though I only got 2 hours of sleep. I haven't been able to get on the forum until now becuase it was down or not working. I found the buck 60 yards from my stand. I learned a few things that I'd like to share first off although I determined the deer died within minutes of the shot I think I made the right choice in backing out for the night. As I said before I also need to focus on my arrow and the deer more when shooting because the shot was absolutly perfect and I couldn't even tell when I made the shot last night. 3rd there wasn't a blood trail at all I found the deer by walking down the trail he was on when I saw him. I'm not going to knock my Montec cause it flew true and did the job but a more defined blood trail would have been a nice piece of mind when backing out last night. It still hasn't hit me yet this is my first buck with a bow but I now when it does I'll relish the moment the rest of my life. Here's a pic and thanks again guy's for all the input your awsome. It's not a huge buck and there was some ground shrinkage but to me it's a trophy I'll always remember.:)

what is group shrinkage?

sorry...i am new to hunting

RE: UPDATE - Buck Found
 

I forgot to mention, good job on the picture as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

RE: UPDATE - Buck Found
 

lol he meant ground shrinkage..When you think a buck is bigger until he is on the ground and you can actually see the rack..ground shrinkage

RE: UPDATE - Buck Found
 

Awesome! Congratulations!!!

RE: UPDATE - Buck Found
 

Group Shrinkage is when there's a bunch of guy's hunting and it's really cold,,,,,,,,nevermind I'm not going any farther.

RE: UPDATE - Buck Found
 

Congrats on your first. Way to give him time when you are not sure. Same thing happened to me last year. Always better to wait when you don't know.

RE: UPDATE - Buck Found

Was the shot indeed where you thought?
Congrats!

RE: UPDATE - Buck Found
 

Congrats! I knew you would find him from the info of your shot placement. Nice buck too!

RE: UPDATE - Buck Found
 

The shot was actually about 2 inche's higher than I thought took out both lungs.

RE: UPDATE - Buck Found
 

Great job! Nice buck. Congradulations.

RE: UPDATE - Buck Found
 

Very nice...congrats on the first...

RE: UPDATE - Buck Found
 

Congrats man! I love the look of that deer...great dark antlers!

When I read your first post I thought that deer was down! I shot my 5 point last year and he jus jumped and walked away....but I saw him bed after 30 yards.

Great Shot man...again that is a sweet deer...get it mounted!

Great deer!! Nothing like the first!!;)

RE: UPDATE - Buck Found
 

Congrats!!

RE: UPDATE - Buck Found
 

Congrats, that is a great buck!

Some holes in deer just don't bleed alot. Most of the time you can get some type of blood but I have had some that did not drip at all. Luckily I have never shot a deer that I did not see fall over within sight to date. Now that I said that this will be the first year it happens.

RE: UPDATE - Buck Found
 

I agree get him mounted!

RE: UPDATE - Buck Found
 

CONGRATS

good lookin buck!! congrats!! i love the darker antlers!! im hunting next to a stand of hemlocks this year...hoping to get my a dark horned buck! i just love them neat colored ones for some reason!!

wierd about the blood trail...

good job finding him!! always better to back out if your unsure...hard for a dead deer to go anywhere...but real easy to jump one and send it runnin for miles if you made a less then desierable hit...

RE: UPDATE - Buck Found
 

It doesnt look anything like the buck in your other post [:-]

Hahah, just kidding! Glad you found him....Congrats on your first!
