2018 Team 5 Thread

Bumped him 100 yards into the trail. There is lung blood though and I think he's hurting. It was a frontal shot. I don't advocate it but the circumstances it was all I had and the angle was perfect. Gonna give him overnight and trying to line up a dog. Pretty sure this will be my best buck ever if I can find him. Ughhh not gonna sleep well. This is not my favorite part of bowhunting thats for sure.

Didn’t you say Iowa...? I thought Iowa didn’t allow tracking dogs.

Edit: never mind, I had people mixed up.

Frontal like head on or quartering in?

Where’d you hit and where’s exit, or direction arrow traveled through him?

Dog is best bet.

Sending well wishes your way teammate - here’s hoping for a dead deer and a happy tracking party!
 
So it is off topic, but I’m ticked at myself for not remembering to harvest the heart while I was dressing my buck out yesterday.. :-(

Straight on. I was only about 9 feet up the tree. He was about 12 yards, very close to downwind, and we made eye contact. I felt confident I could hit the sweet spot. The shot felt good. Didn't find the arrow. Imo with a frontal thats a good thing as it should lodge in a back ham properly executed. We shall see tomorrow.

Don’t beat yourself up over it, get some rest and hit the track with fresh eyes in the morning.
I’ll be praying for you while I’m waiting for a big 10 I’ve been chasing.

guys make sure you put your pictures in the submission thread...our total doesn't look up to date!
 
@Aeds151 submit your deer picture In the contest submission thread - red isn’t looking in here for it and you’re not in our tally!

Come on team! We need points!
 
I want to apologize guys. I shot two does this weekend doing a drive at my in-laws farm (I was on the ground) so I only have one tag left. Hope to get us some points. Have been super limited on hunting time this year.
