Another gut shot thread...
Well, don't have much to say except for the fact I gutshot a nice buck this morning at 08:25. I grunted him and a smaller buck in. He was 35 yards out and the shot was perfect. I hit exactly where I was aiming....the stomach.[&:]I knew immediately when I saw the arrow sink into the buck farther back than I had wanted.
I waited one hour and got out the tree to check the arrow (which I still haven't found.) The ONLY thing I saw at the point of impact was brown hair and brown stomach matter. There was no blood whatsoever. I decided to go back home and come back later. Got back in the woods around 14:00 (about 5.5 hours) and couldn't find a thing.
I know the general direction in which he was headed...a thicket. I have pretty much given up on looking for blood. Just trying to spot the body. The GF and I are heading back out in the morning to give it another shot.
Wish me luck! It has been a bad year...hopefully I can change that.
