So, you would rather commit waste of an animal you shot instead of trying every reasonable means possible to get the deer? Do you suggest to keep shooting/wasting them until one drops in a convenient location? That’s real noble of you.
I said none of that! You gave bad advice that was suggesting they break the law. I suggest you check your motives and morals before you try to do it for me!
Shoulder - Dad got to watch the whole thing from his bedroom. Certainly qualified as an annoying yard buck last night and this morning
Hard quarter - that’s the exit. Probably 45ish degrees, maybe a bit more. Hit was just over half way up the near side leg. Caught lung, nicked the heart, liver, stomach.
I got back to JLS on that same question. I’ll add that to the write up.
If he had taken a different path and died in a different location, their is an excellent chance we never would have found him. I think without the dog, given where he died, we would have found him eventually. He died in a fairly open 30 yard wide strip between the creek and the property line. There is a heavy trail along there and I think we would have checked that area eventually. I’m pretty confident though that we’d have spent several hours getting to that point and with high temps near 60 degrees, he would have spoiled by then.Sooooo jacked you found him!! Would you say you would have never found him without the professional poochy??? I’ve thought of hiring a couple times but never did..
one we did retrieve (thankfully)
the other I think survived..
That’s a dandy buck! Knowing now what you saw yesterday, I’d of not slept either
