Hunted yesterday afternoon and got skunked for the 1st time this season, never saw a deer. Hunted this morning and saw 9 antlerless and 2 bucks. One being a one antlered spike and the other was more mature, but ran across a opening with some taller cover in it and I never got a good look at him, don't believe he was a shooter though. I am pretty sure all the mature bucks are locked down with does at this point. I am going to give it one more go this afternoon, but then more than likely I will be done hunting for a few weeks.

Well…the big deer we blood trailed is alive! I just watched him walk across my field at 11:30 in the afternoon. Unreal

Are you an archery only guy? Seems like you might have had him with a rifle?

Also, do you know where he was hit?

Yes archery only. this was not me who shot him. My neighbors grandson.
And no I don’t know. He was limping some. I’m leaning toward back cause he was favoring his backend.

Yes, i'm just saying if you saw him walk across your field it seems like you might have been able to kill him with a rifle at that time if you were a rifle hunter?

Ohh 100%. He would have been dead but that’s pretty low way to kill a buck

shooting a deer with a gun is a low way to kill them?

From my porch in sweatpants…yes. That’s not hunting. That’s shooting

Turned my alarm off this morning and didn’t go to farm. Lo and behold target buck was right where I thought he would be at daybreak. Sucks.

We'll have to agree to disagree on that one.

I'd hunt/shoot a wounded deer any legal way possible.

I dont think the hit is fatal. If I ran around just whacking every deer with a limp I’d be done the first day they start fighting, I saw two deer yesterday alone that were limping.
