I dhot the biggest bck I have dver dhot snd seen on our place this sfternoon but it was not the best shot placement. Perfect behind the shoulder but low. The deer did not drop at the shot but he only went 20 yards snd stood for 5 minutes with blood running out if the exit hole and blood on the entrance side leg. He laid down very gently and laid his head down but raised it every once in a while to look at the 2 younger bucks that were in the feeder area when I shot and were stsnding in the srea lookng at him. He got up afetr laying for 5 mnutes or so snd moved 15 to 20 yards and laid down again. He tried to get up once but laid down again. After about 5 or 6 mnutes he git up, very slowly and walked into some thick brush after which I could not see him. I left the blnd as quietly as I could left everything in my stand and even left the windows open and the door ooen and left with only my release and binos. I am going back in the morning snd hopefully find him. It is clear with no wind and lows at or below freezing. Hopefully I find him in the thicket as he is only about 20 yads from our boundary fence but the way he was scting not sure he could jum a fence unless pushed. There is an entrance and exit hole so it is low but I am above where he was standing by about 5 or 6 feet. I did see blood running out of the exit, not just dripping.
Luck and prayers of his recovery would be appreciated. Hopefully good teport in the morning.
