hit one but

Post by mrxbower »

Hi guys, I was out this morning and about 7:00 i had a bunch of doe running up and down the mountain and two deer i couldnt make out.about 15 min. later i see a small 6 coming at me . i stopped him at 20 yds. and he stopped but was nervous. i took the shot and he lunged forward and i hit him high and back. he ran 30 yds. and stopped for 15 min. just standing i could see my arrow in him then he runs 15 yds in the thick stuff and just stands there for 10 min. then he runs with tail flagging. i waited 3 hrs.turkeys were around also got down no blood anywhere i grid searched till 4:00 and didnt find any sign . do you think he will survive.

Sounds like he's gonna be around for awhile, a high hit close to the back shouldn't be fatal.

If you hit him high enough he'll probably be ok.

I stuck a nice buck high with an arrow once (my first shot at my first deer while hunting under my own guidance..... still mad about it :wink: ) and broke off about 3-4" in his back area.....

I know he survived. Get back out there and get him!
