Were those 12 countable points? Have you scored it yet? Also do we need our facial pic posted with buck to count?
Oh sorry it's posted in the other threads. I'm going to contact the contest person for all the protocol. He was 123 and something. Lots of cool stuff going on with him.
Well I drew blood. Nice doe but she was just fast enough to start running from the arrow and take it to the guts. Having something to eat, doing a few chores then picking up the trail. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
I found the arrow, going by her position when I heard the arrow smack it was a gut shot, but when I look at the arrow only the back half has blood. Watery looking almost with tiny, and I mean tiny bubbles on the shaft. Blood trail is consistent so far at 100 yards with dime size drops also watery looking. I've never had a deer hit way back give me watery blood with bubbles and no bile or intestine contents. I'm wondering I hit her in the lungs because the sound of the arrow hitting was delayed by distance throwing off my perceived point of impact. If the sun wasn't directly in my eyes I would have been able to see the arrow. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
Well I haven't gotten a buck on camera worth throwing an arrow at. I leave for PA in 11 days, hopefully something will walk out while I'm bear hunting. I do however have access to an old place I used to hunt that has always produced MONSTERS. A soybean field nestled between two sets of hardwoods, backed by a 300+ acre swamp. I'll definitely be saving a tag for that area when the rut comes. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
Good luck I've barely seen a deer since opening weekend. They are no longer in ANY of the fields in day light. Some pics of doe and fawn. No hunting again today ,rain and under a high wind advisory which should have tomorrow looking good.
I found where she laid down in the swamp about 200 yards away. When I got there I jumped her, even though it was 5 hours later. She had a 6ft radius of blood soaked grass. Got permission from the neighbor to cross over the line, but when I did I pushed her right into a clearing where his son was crossbow hunting. He saw her and put her down then I got a phone call asking, "where do we go from here?" I said, he finished what I apparently couldn't, she's his.

Good job staying on her and better on the kill decision. Even better they were great enough to call you. Lucky to have such good hunting neighbors
I'm glad she's not out there feeding coyotes. She had to run right where 3 properties meet like she was running for home plate. I'm going to sit maybe 2 more times before I head to PA. Got a bear, buck, and 3 doe tags for that hunt. Best case scenario I get my bear right away, then it's whitetail time! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
