    Congrats!

    Have any other pics? Looks like could be a 9 of you go by the hang a ring fron it approach. Probably wouldn't count P&Y as width over length comes into play.

    Dang. That plus the rain means go look. You have to be well into his vitals. Blood may be sparse though especially if he was in a field with nothing to rip the arrow out. He go into timber ? I saw the corn but wonder if timber beyond that

    Neither @LittleChief or I have worn the pink panties. Still waiting waiting on @Heckler to make Johnny do it.

    i am just moderating The Pink 120 challenge, but, if I manage to kill a buck before I leave LC’s deer camp. I would have won the bet in 55 hours or less. LC won his portion in 58.5 :poke: :lol:

    No timber. Big open crp with some standing corn rows for snow fences to get to windmill generators. But the crap got bailed a few weeks ago, so that helps.

    Obviously all of us would tell you to wait… but with rain and warm temps i would personally be looking for blood soon. I hope it’s not hard rain…

    Him just walking off doesn't sound good. Doesn't mean he's not a dead deer. Sounds like shoulder or liver/gut. Hopefully you find some good blood and able to confirm.

    We all must remember one thing about a rutting buck. When a buck is rutting their clotting factor jumps way up. By everything you said, that should be a dead buck. But, with him rutting he may survive longer than normal. I'd get on him asap. If you bump him and he gets up. Back out immediately and head back out in 4 hours or the morning. Preferably 4 hours. I'm believing he's dead. Good luck on the track. Looking forward to seeing this bad boy!!!!!

    That’s awesome! Go see if you can see the lighted knock and see if he’s down . Sounds like you probably hit off shoulder.

    So quick story on the doe I killed today. I sat in a valley flegal light to 9:30. Saw one buck at about 100 yards. Got back to camp, with rising temps (hogh of 78*) made an impromptu decision to spend a couple hours midday sitting on a pond, hoping to catch something coming in for a drink in the heat. @LittleChief showed me a gnarly tree that would be perfect, but a climber wouldn’t work, too many branches (win for the saddle boyz). I was up around 11:45 am. At 12:35 the doe came in from the SE, wind in my face.

    She came to a spot that was a 16 yard shot at the pond. Right in front of her was what I though was a fallen tree branch with the end laying in the pond. Line up the shot and CRACK! My arrow hits a branch that is vertically sticking up from the water and perfectly in line with a fallen branch on the ground in front of the doe. But, from my perspective, 17 feet up the tree, the two different branch pieces looked like one long fallen branch. My arrow deflects and lands in the water in the middle of the pond, gone.

    The doe jumped back about 10 yards. After she settled down, she walked towards me and
    came broadside at 12 yards. I drilled her on the second shot. She was slightly quartering towards. The shot took out lungs, liver and exited guts.

    Here is the picture of the branch I hit. Center of the picture in the water. Looks like it is laying flat from up in the tree.
