Monday at I took the hocks from my nephews buck and laid them down the hill I sat down at 3:15 and at 3:48 this guy walks out stiff legged looked in the direction where I dropped the hocks. After shaking like a leaf I got it under control and shot him quartering to me. After the smoked cleared I watched where he ran and thought it sounded like he didn't go far.
I gave him 1/2 hour. When I stepped to the wood line he jumped up and went about 10 feet and laid back down. I stood there watching him through the scope but all I could see were antlers. So I waited watching until his head dropped. Here is where I should have went home but NO I told myself he just died so about 10 minutes and his head never moved. I took three steps as quietly as I could trying to see his body around a tree in case I was wrong. He jumped up and ran into the bottom. He is not losing much blood but what I did find was very dark. I backed out and came home.
I waited until 8:30 to go look for him. We found him 50yds from where I jumped him. He was still alive but no longer able to stand after 5 hours.
The Shockwave was the yellow tip which is supposed to be for better expansion. It did not expand at all.
Entrance just behind the shoulder
Exit just in front of opposite rear leg with No expansion
How do I put him add him for the contest? He was taken with a Muzzle loader
Congrats on your buck
