Deer hunting BS thread

thats decent blood, does it smell like gut shot?

 

I think I hit some liver and out through the gut .Tracked with dog for 5 hours and only got another few hundred yards before blood ran out and the dog guy called it off I’m going back out myself shortly

 

No ,headed back out after lunch . Dog guy gave up after 5 hours even though he seems to think the deer is dead . Ran out of blood

 

Good luck buddy, we’ve all been there.

 

So pissed at myself for a crappy shot .Have not bow hunted since 2015 because of all my retina surgeries. I need more patience

 

also lots of times they will circle towards the right. If you can keep track of which way its going...its prob not too far away from where the tracking dog left off...was there any bedded down spots?

 

It happens, just got to move on. At least you gave it your best effort.

 

No beds at all . I went through all the thick nasty stuff 4 times today . Hopefully he will survive. The dog handler said if it was dead his dog would find it . Maybe not a liver hit . Maybe muscle . My eyes are not what they used to be and it really sucks .

 

I will keep an eye out for crows and vultures now .Funny thing is we lost the blood trail within sight of my house !

 

Hate you didn’t find it. It sucks. Been there. Hopefully he survived.

 

My wife went this evening and saw one. Said it had horns but couldn’t make it out. Just went and pulled card. Sunset here was 6:29, we can shoot 30 minutes past sunset. It’s getting cloudy and she couldn’t tell what it was. She said she was just waiting on it to leave. He eventually blew at her when the wind changed. Ole wide 8.

I’m giving her next week to get it done with the crossbow and I’m going in with the smoke pole Saturday morning. Well, morning or evening depending on what she tells me she wants to hunt

 

Going out again this morning to check some other areas for the deer I lost .

 

Good luck

 

No luck , Maybe he is still alive

 

Well this is some shit .......... rash of burglary last night here . All vehicles on my road broken into . My Mathews compound bow GONE . Lost my deer ,now lost my bow .

 

Went out at 7am to go look for my deer, open my truck and my bow is gone . State Trooper told me a guy at a Halloween party up the road a few miles got shot 7 times WTF I’m living in the boonies too ,never expected this shit . Security cams coming soon .

 

damn that stuff pisses me off. hope they catch them and maybe get the bow back.ill give someone the shirt off my back but Dont steal from me !!

 

Got the State police report and taking it to my insurance company tomorrow. Guess I will get a new bow less my $500 deductible

 

I am so sorry....
