This story has a bitter sweet ending..on Nov 13 took my 14 yr old son to woods with me for some hunting .. We were heading back to the truck when mitch told me he heard some hogs in the creek botom next to us. Just a few second later a really nice buck come haulin out of the bottom . i was carring his 243 and got the legs on the bipod down, Mitch jump to the ground and the buck stopped perfect. 200 yrds away, WACK , BOOOM the buck falls to ground dead .. Man did he get the shakes ..lol We stood there high fivin and junk .. then we walked about 30 yrds toward him and guess what ,he jump up and took off. We found blood for about 100 yrds ,decided it would be best to wait till morning. the next day we started at 6:30 in the morning and looked for the deer till 4 that afternoon ,No luck . Next day went with some hounds still no luck .. I contacted all the nieghbors about him .. Then guess what, I got a call today and look what my nieghbor got on his cam about 2 miles away.. That him my son said.. Glad he's alive and well .I have lost lots of sleep thinking i didn't look enough.

Tough critters. That's a feel good for your son though. Glad he made it.



I work hard, drink a little and hunt when I can.

Looks like the shot grazed the spine. I have read that when you graze the spine the animal drops like a rock from shock, but then gets up and runs off as if unhurt. Looks like the wound is healing okay and the deer should be fine.
