Deadeye, I don’t know where in the shoulder you shot her, but the high shoulder is my go-to shot since I’ve gotten older. I’m not fond of dragging a deer 150 yards out of the woods anymore. Mine drop where they are if I do my part.

I hope the tracker is able to find her, I’m assuming she has a tracking dog, so she should be able to. Good luck !

I aimed pretty much center but pretty sure I also pulled the shot forward. Reason I say that is she dropped down at the hit (I was expecting her to go down) stumbled forward a few steps, then came back up and ran. I could see blood on the front lower body right near the leg while it was back.

I honestly thought I’d find her no problem. Not sure why no blood unless I hit the brisket.



If it can be found her dogs will find it.

She is a Nationally Certified Blood Tracker.

She is in very high demand all over the Upper Florida, lower AL and Ga areas.

I’m just lucky she lives like 10-15 minutes from out property.

He’s a stud native. Congrats! Reminds me of the deer I was chasing.

Congrats Native. That's even better than your barn pics. A BRUTE

Well she found it or her dogs did.

They picked it up and ran right to where it was bedded. Unfortunately I had made a bad shot and hit more brisket than vitals.

They jumped it and took it out to 875 yards before she called them off.

Better to know that not know I guess.

Wouldn’t take anything for coming out.

Thanks so much everyone for the great comments. I will update my habitat thread with more pics and the story ASAP - hopefully tonight but tomorrow for sure. Two different scorers have measured his net typical score the same, so he is going to be a Boone and Crocket, even with a little shrinkage from drying. His gross score is 186+ and his net typical score is 174+. He had 14 scorable points and was a mainframe 12.

Wait, that's the one I had on trail camera.

Well not live right now but I went this morning and saw a nice young buck and 5 does. My target buck has been getting closer and closer to daylight and I know where he beds and comes from. This evening I went out about 2:45 pm and got in a tree I call the bat tree that I named this because it is a large pine and 1 of my first sits in it a few years back I found a bat right behind my head under the bark. At about 3 pm I was looking down at my phone and I heard a very close shot and since I can hear my west neighbors really well from there I thought it was them just busting one off behind me. Very hard for me to get a direction when it’s close and single...I sat about 35 more minutes and I heard a truck driving through the brush on the property north of ours where most of the deer come from. The truck pulled up out of sight but I estimate 75 yards from the fence and load a deer I never got to see. I heard tailgate drop and then 2 guys talking and tailgate close and then they drove off...camera survey will tell the tale...if it was my target my season is over. No other buck I will shoot that I have seen or had photos of...

Was hunting the Massey this evening and ended the night by visiting with 3 deputes and a game warden. Seems like a deer was poached off a neighbor, and between my account and the accounts of a couple others, they should be knocking on a door right about now. I hope somebody gets busted; they popped off a shot right in my direction!
