The First “Is He Dead?” Of 2021

@Hunter260 Did you guys ever find your buddies buck or not?
We followed blood for another 300+ yards. The blood slowed down and stopped completely when the deer headed out into some fields. He didn’t leave the property and we feel pretty good that he won’t. We’re going out to hunt there tonight on his usual pattern. Hope we get another shot.

I shot a buck 2 nights ago very similar. 30 yard shot. Quartering away. It was darkish so I didn’t get a good view but I knew I hit him forward. After shot he ran off about 50 yards and stood there for 2-3 min before he trotted off. Zero blood on arrow. But a pool or 2 of blood where he stood for a few minutes trying to figure out what happen. Followed blood trail for 30 yards when it dried up to nothing. He showed up on camera today. Looks like I hit all muscle in the should maybe some brisket but he is moving around and feeding. In hindsight I learned a lesson it was just a bit too dark to shoot
 
This is why I run a tactacam and lighted nocks. It might not mean I get every deer, but it gives me a definite angle of entry, how the deer reacted, exactly where I hit, and it is pretty cool to watch back later.
