I have to say, after reading some people's comments it has taken some of the joy out of finding this deer. I mean, some people think that Im not a responsible hunter.
don't put a whole lot of stock in a internet forum, and don't let anybody steal your thunder, everybody has or will lose one someday, i have been very blessed that i have very few non recoveries, but thru marathon tracking experiences (mine and other peoples) i have learned some very valueable lessons, the main one is never give up

glad you found your deer and look forward to the pics

Thanks bigcountry, I have to say, after reading some people's comments it has taken some of the joy out of finding this deer. I mean, some people think that Im not a responsible hunter.
I get into these lost deer, and seeing the outcome. You just to look past alot of the crap. You got to understand some if not alot of these posters, are kids.

People love to tear other down. I have been lucky this year, and not had to track much out of 4 deer. But know that feeling well of not knowing if your going to find an animal.

I am taking off all next week and hunting everyday. So maybe my big buck will roll by.

Congrads again.

Congrats on the perseverance of finding your deer. Dont mind what other people say. Some of us has jobs that you just cant get away from at the spare of the minute. Im glad you found your deer. Now get some picts of that deer with your kids and give that wife a kiss on the cheek for being understanding. And play the lottery so when you win you can hunt all the time and not worry about taking off work to pacify the others............

I have to say that from my memory of being a student...it was always a really big deal if teachers called in sick. I always felt that as soon as a teacher had a sick day...then I was able to take "SICK" (ditch class) days as well. You were definately right in worrying about your career first. A lot of people look up to you and you did the right thing here, just as most teachers try to do, by setting examples. Anywho, don't let anyone ruin this for you. I
I'm happy for you and hope to see pictures soon.
