Glad you found him. I was worried the 10 pt I shot last week was going to take off on me. A 75 yard shot to the neck with a .30-06, he dropped in his tracks with his antlers in the dirt and tongue hanging out before I could reacquire him though my scope. I was shaking too badly to climb down for a few minutes, but his back leg moved once. I sat there with another round I the chamber for 20 minutes or so, but I was still certain he was going to take off as soon as I lowered my rifle to the ground and started climbing down.

This he needs to know every effort should be made to recover game. ..

We teach by example and this is a very important one every hunter needs to learn. Congrats to you and your son and that is a very nice buck.
