Yes that sucks when you cant recover a animal after you shoot it.If I shoot a animal and the blood starts to get hit and miss I usually will pull off the trail and let it be for a few hours, but at night I just wait until morning to start the search.If you are in a area high in predators I will wait...

Its usually the people that shoot the young bucks off are the first to bitch about the fact there are no longer any mature deer in the area.And yes in the past I have shot my share of young deer, but now I know what mature deer do for a herd.

Nice Buck!!!! What did he score?You have the same way of cooking backstraps as I do.One step further if time allows, let them soak in your favorite dressing overnight then wrap in bacon and off to the Bar-B-Q.

Windy days are a good time to hunt corn fields if you have any in your area.Walk into the wind and peek down each row as you cross them.You will find deer sleeping in the corn rows.
