Killed a javi Friday evening between rain storms. Saturday morning was beautiful. Sat in a new tripod location and had 8 does stay about 40-50 yards out. Didn't get a shot, but enjoyed watching them. Saturday evening, I rolled another javi 5 minuutes into the hunt. I drug him off, and went back to sitting. Had a couple young bucks mill around for an hour or so. Soon after a gang of bucks came in to feed. A young 10pt, 8pt, 7pt, and a freak. The freak stepped into my lane for a few bites of hand corn. I waited for him to bring his front leg forward, and I took the 12 yard shot. It was a good hit! I went to look for blood, and didn't see any. I was then in panic mode until I found my arrow. It was covered in "good" blood, but there wasn't any of the ground. I look for several minutes, and decide to walk up the trail where he went. He was piled up in some cactus about 40 yards up the trail. That was a great feeling!!
btw.... I shot him with a Rage 2-blade. Pass through shot. No blood on the ground?? I've killed a few animals with the rage, and have always had lots of blood on the gound. I guess it doesn't matter if they go down quick...
