    The shot if anything was forward an down. It was no where near a gut shot and the blood looks good. I didn't get much penatration because I believe I hit the opposite leg or shoulder. 99% of the trail we could follow with ease and not have to search for blood. It was a good trail. [​IMG]

    Yes we used a tracking dog to find my sons buck. She was a huge help and ultimately found the deer.

    As for my baby boy. Doctors still aren’t sure what got ahold of him. He’s on some strong antibiotics so hopefully they start working soon. His little hand is swole up as big as mine. Looking like we’ll at least be here the rest of this week. He’s in good spirits though.

    I’m suppose to be on rutcation but babysitter has backed out for 3 days and sat for 9 hours one day and didn’t see s thing. Probably because of the 3 trespassers I kicked off that evening

    Very nice buck! Congratulations again. I wonder what would have happened if you didn’t do what you did and kept on going after him.

    There's a chance we could have bumped him again but we stopped tracking probably 40 yards from where we found him. He found a big brushy stump to lay behind and bleed out. I'm glad we backed out.

    I'll put the tape to him tomorrow. 2 broken points will hurt him.. He was a fighter.
