    Little Chief,
    that really sucks man. I am sorry. I know that feeling and its a terrible one. All I can say is that its October 7th. Keep hunting hard, and it will pay. Who knows, that buck might be fine and show back up on camera.

    You put in a great effort trying. However, I think you still have a dead deer. I would look for vultures tomorrow if you have time.

    I am sitting in a blind with my daughter for the Wisconsin youth hunt. Raining right now but it is supposed to stop for the last hour and a half.

    2nd time out this year. I've left the property alone to keep the pressure off. I get to the area where I usually park the side by side and another 4 wheeler is here. Apparently my girlfriends dad let our neighbor know he could hunt the property. So discouraging. He's in the area I've been out of for the last 2 months. I can't be mad since it's not my property but it is a punch in the gut.

    Good luck all!

    I am sorry to hear that LittleChief, I know the pain as I just wounded a buck myself last week. I just got trail cam pics from him though and he looks great, he is recovering from what I believe to have been a brisket shot as its the only spot I see on a deer that has black hair behind the shoulder. I hope you will be able to say the same thing, and seal the deal. until then best of luck!

    Damn, that sucks. I do know the feeling. Happened to me in Illinois. Same exact scenario. Tracked that deer through the thickest of the thickest, Until there was no blood to be found. I was on my hands and knees in the thorns.

    I think you're right. The Brodhead left a nice wound that took a while to clot up. Blood trail you described, is exactly what I was finding.

    I think he'll live.

    I'm afraid I'm back home in Tennessee now, but my brother and the farmer are going to keep an eye out. Based on what we saw on the trail I really don't believe he's dead. It might be a long time before he walks that trail again though.
