Default Halloween deer! Got this one this morning...

Shot this 10-pointer at around 7am this morning. He was headed towards one of my feed patches. After hitting him he ran back into the woods leaving only a few drops of blood. Had to get a friend with his dog to help me find him. As you might expect, he was headed towards water and when we found him dead around 10:30am. He had run about 300 yards but was in some thick woods and in a different direction than his blood trail had indicated he was heading. As for the lack of blood, since the deer was quartering away when I shot him, I had to hit him pretty far back. Because of the severe angle, the .300 win mag' s 200 gr Swift A-frame hit him hard and never exited. Anyway, what do you think?

Looks like no tricks only treats for you. Oh you needed the dog and your buddy well that was the trick. Congradulations on a nice looking deer.

Hey a hearty congrats from Ol Sweetwater on your harvest. That is a fine buck!

Where (what state or region) did you drop him?
