While I was trailing a doe I shot on sunday I came upon this guy laying in a thicket about 20 yards from a pond.

Too bad, at least you have the rack though.

Still a great find, but you are right, seeing him alive would have been awesome!

Nice one, and at least the rack isn't all chewed up! Good find.

Did you find your doe?

henson59

yes I did. I actually hit a branch on the shot and it hit her low just behind the ribs. We gave her 4 hours and started tracking. We blood trailed her 3/4 mile and found her laying on a hill side. I had to finish her off. It's one of those things where I felt real bad about the shot and I wasn't happy at all with the way it had to end. But I know those things happen with bow hunting.but at the same time I would have never found this rack if she only went a 100 yards or something.

Awesome find bud. Almost as good a find as the doe herself. Only because you cant eat antler. 8) Have you put a tape on him yet? Im curious as to what he scores.
