    I am sorry to hear that, if its only a flesh wound she will hopefully recover pretty quickly

    My arrow was clean when I found it. Just a few white hairs and specks of blood. Never hit a deer and seen an arrow so clean. I don’t think it was anything more than a flesh wound.

    Sounds like a flesh wound, that’s all you can hope for at this point. Bummer, but it’s happened to us all at some point!

    Did you ever see any more vultures on that property, or see your buck?

    No. My brother drove by multiple times after that one instance and saw no sign of any scavengers. The soybeans have been cut and the farmer didn't find a carcass.

    My brother actually walked the perimeter of the property yesterday and saw nothing that would indicate that a deer carcass was in the area.

    I'm totally convinced now that the buck survived the encounter.

    I have always used toilet paper, napkins, paper towels.. they will dissolve with time so I dont leave anything behind. White is easy to see as well.

    Was 3/4 way up stand and had a doe go by at 60 yards. Did not see me. 55 degrees, light breeze. Perfect night to be in stand.

    Gotta love when you see deer while climbing and make it the rest of the way up and get your bow up without being seen.. #FeelLikeAhNinja

    25 degrees cooler than yesterday. Breeze in my face. Morning rain has given way to partly sunny skies. Feels like a good day to be in the woods.

    Back in the tree for this evening sit. Sitting in some mixed timber on the edge of about 200 acre of planted pines. It's about 67 degrees with a steady wind out of the north. The negative thing is I'm in a ladder stand with no cover. Oh well feels good to be in the stand this evening.
