Well I have been sick in bed since Sat and it has been driving me mad not being able to get into the stands. Tonight with about a hour and half left in season I decided to run up to a couple stands and sit with my bow and try to rattle. I did not really think anything would ever come in with the amount of noise that I made getting to my stand, having a bad cold sure takes the wind out of you fast. anyway about 15 minutes sitting in my stand rattling and grunting I caught movement. I seen him coming towards me but coming from the downwind side of me, he busted me but only went a little ways I ranged him at 53 yards drew my bow back and settled my 50 yard pin 2 inches higher than I wanted to hit. On impact he took off, made it about 150 yards and piled up, Took him through the liver and one lung on a hard quartering away shot. Then the work began getting him loaded in the truck and home to skin.
Nice buck, Trav, congrats man. With the shot you described, how was the blood trail/tracking? I ask because I killed a little guy last week with an unintentional liver shot, and he left NOTHING for blood.
