Great buck and good persistence on that track. Thanks for the snow huh? :chuckle:
Without the snow, this buck would have been lost! That is the main reason I don't hunt early season much.

Very nice animal. Great job. and with the tire tracks looks like he is going home in one piece. Nice!
The picture is from home. Forgot the camera this morning. Pretty easy drag. Once he got to the bottom of the canyon, he crossed a road and traveled uphill. Which made for an easy drag back to the road.

I know some archers who spend 5-10 minutes after a shot and quit and go on to other deer. I commend you with the ability and mentality to stay with the trail with time not being a factor. all bowhunters need to read your post. I recently spent 5 plus hours looking for a friends deer he shot with a rifle with success. learned a few things. good post. mike w
those people do not need to be hunting.. there is no excuse for that

Great deer but early season can be great as well.. dont need snow to find em when you double lung/heart shoot them :twocents:

Awesome buck :tup: :tup: That's funny about the fatally wounded deer comment ....I always say that and have never seen one hit fatally go up hill ...if you chased him 4.5 hours he was not hit to fatally :dunno: just saying ! I hear guys saying how they swear they center punched a deer with their bow and know it was dead center threw the bread basket and end up not finding it ....I just never witnessed it ...In the last 10 to 15 yrs most of the deer and elk I have killed have dropped in eye sight .....Must be the Wasp :chuckle: :chuckle: Glad it worked out because he is a bruiser :bow: :brew:
Not sure what you mean by "too fatally". Dead is dead. :chuckle:
He clearly wasn't hit well. No broadhead on the market could fix that. I plain out rushed the shot.
