    Dang just had two doe to my right. They stopped behind a tree only needed 3 more steps for a shot then they took off to the bedding. Maybe the wind swirled, not sure.

    Tracked for 350yds through the woods. Blood is still bright, puddles where she stopped, traveled into a standing corn field to the south. Trying to get permission to keep tracking.

    Last blood. I think she'll live. Trail was getting pretty light, now it's gone. 20231008_094443.jpg

    If she’s still going strong it is probably just a muscle hit unfortunately, keep after it. I hope I’m wrong though.

    Yeah she's going up and down corn rows. Still blood but I'm not sure how long I can keep this up.

    Been out since an hour before light. Saw a single antlerless deer at 7:40 and I just saw a hell of an 8 point walk by 70 yards away.

    He’s a huge buck for Wattensaw - maybe 130”.

    There’s two big scrapes here and they’re using the little trails I mowed. Found a good tree, that’s where I’ll plan this evening

    Found arrow at impact sight. Covered in blood and fat. Upsetting but it's my fault. I took a shot I felt comfortable with and failed.

    Story of last night:
    At around 6pm I got bored and about blown out of my stand by the wind so I decided to get aggressive and spot and stalk my way over to where those does came out Friday night into the bean field about 6:30pm. I crept through the woods to a place I figured I could sit on the edge of the woodline and wait for those does to come back. My guess was perfect, except the does had already beat me to the field. I crawled to the edge of the field and was able to draw on the lead doe, broadside. I could only see from her mid-shoulder up due to the beans covering her lower half, I released the arrow and it felt really good but I'll try to do better next time. 20231008_102646.jpg 20231008_102548.jpg

    Couple of years ago I called deer search for a buck that I trailed pools and sprays in my woods. He went into a 30 acre golden rod field and I lost him. Searcher said dead deer, tracked until he kicked him up. The bed was a puddle of blood. He said can't have much left we'll push him. Long s/ short in hill country a dead deer can run miles down hill. He headed straight down hill leaving a trail that looked like a paint sprayer made it. 3/4 mile later we heard a bang..not gun season. Behind houses. Followed up to woods edge and zip nothing. Searched along property lines nothing. Searcher said when he heard shot " there goes your deer".
    He figured upper leg shot caused all the bleeding but could not believe the amount with live deer.

    It happens good luck

    I'm guessing I hit low, she spun when I shot and I think I caught lower brisket, entered low behind shoulder, exited front low brisket.
