Saturdays Hunt
Been a really tough season, way to many coyotes around Pretty much every day I get pictures of them on my cameras. Been out 11 times now yesterday was only the second time I have seen a deer. About 730 I saw a coyote about 50yds. At 8 I see a deer walking past me about 30yds up wind of me. when it went behind a big tree I got xbow up and ready. way to many saplings in way for any shot. It walks to the trail I'm covering and turns my way. At 22yds it stops so it time to pull trigger. I hit it exactly where I was aiming off it goes, runs for 40yds than starts to walk which I figure is a good thing. Goes out of view so I get up from my ground blind and head for my vehicle and quad and of course my dog. I come back to where I shot it and no blood but there was hair. Dog picks up trail and off we go. after 200yds I'm wondering what's up as there is blood drops but not a lot and figured I should have found it by now. it went another 400yds before we found it. apparently it must have turned towards me as I shot as bolt went in where I was aiming but came out other side about 1.5ft back and high. High is expected as I'm low to ground. So it got one lung and nicked the liver. I was really glad Sam (dog) was on the job, this is her 7th deer she has recovered for me.

Early for me to calculate but finally get my brain to settle on and imagine 6 football fields through the woods. WTG Sam (the dog).

Good work on finding the deer.

Awesome! Congrats! That's a good distance. Was there any blood trail to follow or was it all Sam's nose that got you to her?
-
blood spots here and there. I pretty much just followed Sam and looked for blood to make sure I was going the correct way.

it's amazing what a good lab can do
my senior guy is amazing at finding deer, my junior guy is absolutely useless looking for deer

Congrats on finding the deer quite a long way, good thing you had your dog with you
