    Good Luck, everyone!

    Ahhh that makes it even worse, lol. It looked like he got poked there in a fight or something. It was his spike side so not as much protection when fighting other bucks. I’m sure he could still see out of it eh, maybe.

    Haha I know! Your not making it any easer for you. I'm just trying to lighten the mood, missing just sucks no matter what kind of deer it was.

    Agree, pretty bummed but it happens. Laughing about it now. Definitely better than wounding one

    Any type of game plan yet?

    Shot was 5 1/2 hours ago, would be good with liver but straight guts not so much. From where you said you hit and the blood on the arrow I'm betting you got some liver, just hope she's been opening up when she's getting pushed around to leave some blood to follow.

    I’m at the point where I don’t care if I kill a deer, I’d be happy just seeing something!!

    Back in for about 20 min now. Moved my corn stand to a new place. Saw a bunch of Does here Thursday evening. Wind is perfect, blowing my scent into the corn. Deer will all come from behind me. I just need to sit really still and let them walk by. Doe patrol this evening. Only two lanes to shoot through. Definitely need to do some trimming next season.

    We’re up. Sitting on winter wheat field with the buck decoy. Seen a real nice buck when we were walking out this morning. Cameras have doe and small bucks in the field during shooting light. Wind is pretty good. Hopefully a shooter shows up for the wife.
