I'm not sure of the year, 1999 or 2000.
Very first year hunting, (didn't hunt as a kid). I gut shot this deer low. We probably spent 3 or 4 hours tracking it. One of my father-in-laws friends that has been hunting with him since the 60s or 70s finally caught up to it and put another bullet in it. To be honest I dont feel a whole lot of ownership in it since I didn't put the kill shot in it even though everyone tells me it would have died eventually from my shot. Haven't shot at anything as big since.
