Lost one ....found!! This morning!! Pics

Post by RexKay »

I am really sick to me gut rite now. I sat along the west edge of a hayfield on a horse farm I lease in ortinville,mi ,last nite approx 430 I see a buck pop out near a stand on south edge I been using most of the time since I shot a spike on Oct.2nd. Well the buck troote to the west edge directly to me. Shot felt good heard the whack watched him run toward way he came and went down. I watch him for around a half hour.got down,and by then the field was full of deer,still some light. As I approached him coming up a small him from behind I loaded and arrow,saw his back towards me( he was layin flat head down) I was getting ready to shot again then he popped up and struggled another 30 yds or so to the south wood edge and fell. I stayed still till dark. I saw hi struggle up and head towards some thick swampy stuff a little deeper in woods.waited another half hour. To thick to track in dark,no blood since I hit him kinda back quartered to me slightly. His left rear leg wounded real bad from pass thru. I will resume search this morning,since I am a little calmer. I hope to find him.

Good luck on the search hope you find him.
A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.
