So an update and recap. Buck came in this morning and made a scrape which was cool to watch. He then came straight down my trail and was at 10 yards but head on. I thought ab a spine shot but decided not too. He then spun and got into some thick brush, I had one opening and when he crossed I let go. He bucked when the arrow hit and took off. I trailed him to private property with a great blood trail. Once I got permission I crossed over with the game warden and a raver where we followed it another 80-90 yards. It would be spotty and then have a huge spot. A lot of dark red blood and bubbles were in a lot of it so I for sure got one lung. The blood trail suddenly stopped and we couldn't pick it back up. He was a old deer that was very wide and had Hagerman trash on the end of each beam. Not a super high scoring deer but cool character probably 130s. Very disappointing bc I feel as do the wardens that the deer is for sure dead based on the. Lois trail. I hate to waste an animal like that.

did you give the land owner your contact info? maybe if they find it dead in a few days/weeks they can still give you the head for a Euro. Sucks, but you still have days to hunt. Get back in the stand and go after another.
