    A pic of Troy's buck is on the BH.com Facebook page.

    Captain give him time and you will find him!

    I won’t start looking until tomorrow morning. To make it worse, we’re getting 2-4 inches of snow tonight

    It is not how hard we hit, but how many times we can get back up and fight.

    I believe my odds of finding this deer are slim. I’m guessing he’s probably in the 120s. I wanted to get us some points with how rough my season is going

    So here’s the plan, we’re giving him about 12 hours then getting the dog in there and we’ll see how it goes. If we get snowed on I’ll never find this buck

    I meant not a 180 haha....hopefully you guys know that was
    Ah man Sorry t hear that but it happens. That deer will die but it's going to take a day possibly. Options are to either sneak up down wind if you know where he's at to get an arrow in him. He doesn't want to move so will hunker down and not move till he has to. Otherwise if you don't know where he bedded down it's best to wait. Honestly this is one where you should bring in tracker dogs if legal. They will be able to track guts.

    I’ve got a friend with a good tracking dog. I think I have an idea where he bedded but I’m not sure. It’ll be tough with snow tonight I think.

    Unless it's illegal, definitely don't do that!

    Troy, that is heck of a buck man! Congrats!

    Fix, hang in there brother. Everything happens for a reason, you’ll bounce back. Still a couple of weeks left of really good hunting.

    Benny, don’t beat yourself up man. We’ve all made bad shots on deer, it happens to the best of us! Like the other guys have said, he will die, it’s just going to take him some time. Go slow and glass ahead and hopefully you can find where he’s bedded and get another arrow in him if necessary.
