I got him. He went about 50 yds after crossing the road. I waited 2 hrs before trailing him, it was a relief. To those of you who supported my decision, I thank you. Those of you who said I needed to call in, or I am irresponsible, sorry you guys feel this way. Most of us can't take off like that, and I do not go into the woods with the attitude that Im going to make a bad shot. Things happen, I was blessed to find him as early as I did. I have 2 children and a wife that I left tonight to find this deer. I did what I had to do, I normally make good shots, I didn't see everyone jumping on GregH this way. Come on guys, we already have enough people out there against us, don't make it easier for them. We are a band of brothers in our passion.

Glad you found him, I found both of these threads at the same time.

good job man.. what was it..

congrats

Congrats on your buck! I agree, not all of us can just change our schedule whenever we want to work around hunting. Some have to just hunt whenever we can.

Great job, ? How bout some pics.


Remember you left the same ones at home to shoot the deer that you left to go find it ,just putting it in prospective.

GOOD work Va....you didnt make a horrible shot, like say for example hitting a twig on the shot last night and deflecting into lets say the buttocks of a buck and coming out midway through the deer on the opposite side kind of thing like me.....I mean my friend last night.

Good job man. When you said you found blood on the road, it sounded promising. I have hit them high in the liver and they quit bleeding totally.

He was a nice 8pt, not too wide but good tine length and decent mass. I will hopefully have pics on here by tomorrow. Bawanajim, you are right in the fact that I left them to go, but I only go when it is ok for me to leave, Im a very dedicated father, my wife wants me to go out and enjoy my hobbies. Not exactly sure what you are saying. Are yousaying I should not have gone? Please explain.Anyway, thanks again to all who helped me.

Good Job Man!!!!! I am sooo glad you found your deer so that way we can stop reading from people tell you that you shouldnt hunt!!!!!!!!!!

GET SOME PICS UP!!!!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
