    was out for the biggest portion of the day til I had to pick up the kids from school. saw a 2.5 yr old about 90 yds away that skirted around me. then half hour later I called in another bigger 2.5 yr old 8 pt. passed him up at 30 yds but got a great video of him. this is the same spot that the two big bucks were fighting at yesterday. 4 different bucks in two mornings. all at least 2.5 yr olds. going to give it a rest tomorrow and hunt a different stand, then hit it on Saturday again.

    Shot was broadside maybe slightly angled toward me, i was up 25 feet he was down in a range so probably 30ft down, right at 20_22 yards, ran off about 40 yards till i couldn't hear or see. I didn't see any green or slime on the arrow, it was dark red and dried on the shaft

    Looks like liver. I think backing out is a good idea.

    Pass through? How long after the shot was arrow recovery?

    Backing out was the right choice, I would still probably place a marker 25 yds from where he was shot just to have a refresher in he morning. Things look so different after a nights unrest. Dark blood with leaves falling can be hard to pick back up. Already dark so doesn't do muh good now I guess :lol:
