Team 7 Official Check In

Looked for 2 hours tonight, little to no blood, found the arrow and was covered around 10 inches in bright red blood, going back in the morning to search again

 

good luck finding your deer in the mornin mass will be gun hunting this weekend.

 

about to head out right now, heavy frost. She will be fine. Hopefully the coyotes didn't find her first

 

Good luck on finding your does guys. Little to no blood could mean the deers intestines/guts are blocking the exit hole. Still a dead deer.

 

Looked for another 3 hours, going back after my English class, feeling pretty low right now. I owe it to the deer to keep looking

 

did you see exactly were your arrow hit???

 

Yes, it was a werid angle. I was sitting down due to a branch the arrow could hit,it was around a 15 yard shot but I was pressed against the tree because of where she was. The arrow hit a little high and forward because I think I've never really practiced those shots before. I swore it blew through the shoulder, when I found the arrow it was covered in about 8 inches in bright red blood. But we only found a drop of blood on the ground around every 30 yards. I wonder if because the angle was steep that she wasn't bleeding alot because it was coming out the side. I was using a kill zone and was suprised it didn't open her up

 

Steep angle=something blocking exit hole. Still a dead deer.

 

Massbow sorry I didn't see your post about hitting the doe good luck with finding her

 

Hey siman any luck with your deer?

 

No luck on my doe, the deflectling arrow didn't get any penetration. lead to zero bloodtrail and hopefully a living deer out there somewhere. As the deer was walking off i could see my arrow sticking out and never did find it on the trail.

 

Guys, after almost 6 days, I killed a "last minute, day before gun season" 8 point.
Not huge, but a decent large bodied buck, one that I don't let walk.
I was ready to jump out of my stand when
I heard him crash
I won't be able to enter him for a couple of days though.
Rock on!

 

Alright FEB! BOOM!

MassBow, these things happen. Keep hunting and keep it fun. When does your season end? Mine ends the first week of January and I will be trying my best to lay down a buck.
