How to catch a cloud

[Bighoun52]

Didn’t see him last night but saw almost all the of his summer buddies. It has a great hunt but he never came out. I have been all or nothing with him but almost changed my mind. Luckily the buck we call boxer didn’t come into range or he was going to get smashed

That deer is what dreams are made of. Keep the pictures coming, I'm following along.

Maybe should of named him Hollywood. He loves to get his picture taken!

Boxer would suit me just fine or anyone else I’d reckon. Lol

Patience is going to pay you bigtime.

I'm with Xbowguy. No shame at all in Boxer. He is a dandy. But with Cloud it will be the highest high or disappointment. I commend you. Chasing one deer (especially of his caliber) is about the ultimate challenge.

Well boys!!!!!! I got an arrow threw him tonight. He was chasing does hard and stopped for just a second and I let one fly. He ran about 100 yards and laid down in the field but still had his head up at dark. I thought it hit liver. Going to let him go over night. Hopefully I took the air out of cloud

Gonna be a long night I'm sure. Hopefully he's laying in the same place in the morning. I'll be looking forward to seeing how it turns out!

 

[hickslawns]

Good choice to back out. Liver should be about a 10hr and gut shot maybe 24hr wait. Either way, I'd stalk in on him in the morning. Downwind. Ready to put another arrow in him if needed. Good luck man!

Oh man fingers crossed for a good recovery! Awesome!

Do you have alot of coyotes in the area?

If he laid down after only 100 yards that is obviously good news. How much longer after he laid down were you able to watch him?

 

[Dustinb80]

Congrats on hitting him, hoping he's still there in the morning untouched

I hope to see a hero pic in the morning!

Fingers crossed

Hoping to see a recovery pic in the morning!

Good luck!!!

 

[finelyshedded]

Wow!!!! Fingers crossed for you on that monster! Good luck on the recovery! I have a good feeling you’ll find him close to where he laid down.

I can't wait to keep checking this one!!!!

I watched total about an hour. There are coyotes in the area but I don’t want to chance bumping him

 

[finelyshedded]

Sounds like he might have been gut or liver shot. You shooting mechanical heads?
