    Back home in Indiana now. Was just in Arkansas and MO with my cousin for the weekend. Spent most of that time in the NE corner of AR on his lease

    With the way you described a few things it seems like it could of been liver/gut hit. If that’s the case, he should be dead by now.

    yeah, I was going to say that didn't look the same as the pic you posted (dead deer appears to have longer brows and wider spread), and also looks like it's been in the water longer than just overnight.

    Yeah quite the swing of emotions. Hate giving up on a track but I just dont have the extra time to allow right now. I'm wrong for even shooting that buck. He wasnt even one I really wanted to shoot. I regret it.

    If you've been hunting long enough, I think we've all done that at least once. Just get back out there and get some redemption!
