So saturday for the opener I had a 40 yard shot at the big buck I have been watching for two months!!! I hit a branch in the dark of the morning light!  Do I still go after this buck after he has been shot at?? Im certain I know the hole he is in and probably laying down hiding. Or just find a legal buck in another area? 

I really want a deer. But this buck is a wall hanger and its driving me nuts!!!

Is this seriously even a question?  If it's not dead  go get it. Is there some kind of sportsman rule that I don't know about that says if you missed  You can't try and shoot that animal again.  ?

[rosscrazyelk]

I don't understand why you wouldn't go after him. What's the worst that could happen?

Ya, I understand that..  Just don't wanna screw him all up!!  Im thinking he needs a dirt nap

You don't want to screw him up How?   He is a freaking deer . Do you think he will feel better knowing you are letting him rest?

I just pooped my pants.....should I change my underwear??

 

Just seems a litter dramatic to ask a question like this.  Can't wait to see pics of this monster you speak of.  Good luck.

Sounds like a battle of wits to me...

I would keep hunting and get off the computer.

He may of won the battle, but you need to win the war

He is THAT good of a buck!! I will be alone, so no way I can cover all his escape routes..   

Guess my question is more to the how would you hunt a buck that has been shot at and is spooked big time by now!

PS no one else will go where he is, so I know he aint dead..  Its in a draw that runs all the way to hell.  Approach from the top? Bottom? Its fairly open but thick in the bottom...  Im thinking get in before sun up and sit on him all day!! Until he makes a fatal mistake

Whoever moves in daylight looses...................in dark, out dark...........sit all day.

[Fishnclifff]

Give him a break guys

Seeing that 3rd point gave RT a woody.

He'll calm down.

Well that makes more sense.  I honestly don't think that one shot is going to freak him out that much. Good luck
