checked the trail camera today and I shot that deer on the 4th and have pictures of him again just this morning at 230 am with the 5 does i also saw. Also had a good 8 point on there

i hope you intend on lettin that 8 go and just hunt your 5 til he is in your ice box!!!

That's a very interesting reply. Slightly perplexing, yet makes sense.

Since that is the buck you know you hit before... and know he's wounded, maybe not mortally... yet, it seems appropriate to focus on him until the job is done.

I agree with halfbaked on this one.

Your call, but something to consider.

Good luck,

Hed be my first to shoot im still hunting hard and am confident I will get another shot at him. When he comes into range which im confident he will then he will be harvested. Ill post pics when this happens

These are POWERFUL statements!

"I will get another shot at him."

"...he will be harvested."

When studying people's language and intentions, I don't often see the word will much. It's more like "I should...", "I'd like to...", "I wish...", "I'm thinking of doing it."

scribbler... I believe you!

Good luck.

isnipe youv read most of my posts this year has been rough the only thing I can do is stay confident and hunt hard and not dwell on the past. If I stay confident and keep my mindset right anything can happen

When your in a one shot seting like we are with a Bow the odds are we all will not hit the sweet spot all the time. Good effort to find it thats all you could do after the shot so ease up on yourself and press on to the next one. I thought I missed my shot Saturday because the Buck was moving but I put him down after all,found him about 70 yards away dead on the spot. My exit wound looked bad but when I rolled him over the shot was 5 inches from the heart. Good Hunting

i like halfbaked's point, concentrate on him and finish what you started, let that 8 grow up...i think it sounds as though you may be nervous, practicing on a deer target, more confidence in your shooting, will help get rid of the black cloud

glad to hear that...that is true hunting, it is hard to let an 8 walk when you are huntin a 6 (if i remember right). way to let em hang

you mind showen the pix of him i am interested to see with my own eyes where he is hit
