RE: Found my buck....4 months later

Nice one and sorry that it took 4 months to find but glad to see you found it. That is one thing that I like in MI where I hunt now instead of PA, I am hunting patches of wooded areas.After time, I can catch up to them if the shot wasn't the best. In PA, it is a different story. The woods go on and on and don't end and if you lose the blood, you're done at least in the areas that I hunt in MI and PA.

That is cool!! Good find, how far was he from your last blood?

Same question duc, at any time, how close were you to him? Had you looked in the vicinity of where he ended up? Tell us more on the story of the search. It very well may help someone in that situation.

He was about 250 yards away from last blood. At any one time? Probably 50 yards. The woods I shot him in has a field adjacent to it. He crossed the field (about 100 yards) and bedded down in a thicket 50 yards from the field edge. Back in November I walked the entire field edge looking for sign, never found any though. I had been searching for about one hour when I found him today.

Was it close to where you were looking or someplace you hadn't really look yet?

We're (United Blood Trackers) trying to make a difference in PA, write your congressman, senator and rep to pass HB420 (Bloodtracking Bill).

Nice find, closure is a good thing.

RE: Found my buck....4 months later

You did good...get a cape for him and savor him...put him on the wall to tell your story.

God Bless you for your efforts.

RE: Found my buck....4 months later

Id say after all that work and dedication to finding him, he deserves to get a nice cape and be mounted! lol

RE: Found my buck....4 months later

well done buddy, persistance paid off for you. Another thing that you can take from this... is that deer went to a bedding area he was comfortable with. There's a very good chance that he's not the only deer that beds in that area.

RE: Found my buck....4 months later

Nice work on finding him. It takes a true outdoor enthusiast to continue to look for a down animal months after a kill.
