Southern MD 10 down
Not much of a story to tell. Doe runs by acting wierd, knew something was following. Nope. 20 minutes go by and all I'm thinking is "Man, I should have shot the doe". Anyhoo, this guy comes walking right to my wick(Tinks 69) 30 yards away. Stands there sniffing it for 10 minutes. Instead of coming down the trail, he starts heading back the way he came. Now I have to stand and turn without spooking him. I'm a large feller and stands tend to make noise with me in them, nope, no noise. He gives me a 30 yard 1/4 away and put the smack down on him. Arrow was covered with nice blood. Didn't hear him crash so I backed out for a bit. Get back to the spot and can't find any blood, none at all. After looking for an hour, I just happened to walk up on him. No blood anywhere around him. Guess I got a bit lucky. Shot hit right behing his ribs and came out right behind his left shoulder. Can't believe there was no blood(Spitfires BTW). Went maybe 300 yards. Second best buck to date and first of the year!!

Nice buck. Congrats.
GO TO A FIXED BLADE!!! :wink: Just kidding. Wanted to be the first to say. Congrats again. |
nice deer bro...even better avatar! go skins!
|
Very nice buck, congratulations.
|
nice job.
put him up for "guess his score", let everyone guess and then give the answer in a few days. i changed from a fixed blade to spit fires, and went right back to the fixed blade(#2) soon after. i would imagine he bolted off after ya hit him, and his cavity didnt fill up enough to leak out, and he ran all the way to where he was and was done. did ya try and track the blood backwards? always good practice. |
Great buck congrats!
|
Great job ...CONGRATS on a great buck!

COngrats, i had good luck with spitfires, sometimes you just can never find an explanation and id chalk this one up to a fluke.

No blood at all means no blood at all. Can't backtrack what aint there. |

the dog will show me blood drops sometimes, i know she is tellin me where they are, but still hard to see..i seen droplets "roll", covering themselves in small dirt, looking just like the ground, till ya put your finger in it and smear it on your fingers. once again back to the cavity filling up too, blood wont "dump" out til the cavity is full, to leave that trail you were referring to that usually happens, but didnt this time. this is usually the case with shots with exit wounds and with out that are a lil high, leaving the belly and chest cavity to fill up, instead of leaking out. if the deer runs out of blood before the cavity fills, the drop and just leave a big pool where they lie down at. |
congrats on the buck. nice job

You are obviously smarter than me. I will go back and look for blood. Thanks to all that have responded without a smartass comment. And the Redskins do suck, but I still love them. |
