My mom always said "if you don't learn something new everyday, then you aren't listening." Glad to see you found this buck young man.
Read the original thread on Friday and got busy with hunting and life this weekend. Was eager to follow up this morning to see if you got him and glad the story had a happy ending! I will definitely remember this story when I make a less than great shot at some point in the future and call in the dogs! Congrats!
Congrats on a great buck. And for having the courage to admit you messed up. And also for doing everything it takes to recover him... Hard not to get shook up when the big boys come out and play.
