Just let a really nice 3 year old 8 walk. Gonna be a good one next year. Should have him on the trail cam. Feeling good about the last 90 minutes.

I've been in for an hour. Skerls so far. Correction...big 4 pt and sm. 6 just cut across corner of this thicket.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

Just sat through 2 hours of doe parade for a red squirrel to start barking 75-100 yds away and spook the deer back to bedding area. Those little bastards

He may be pulling a “Joe” in his stand!Quit breathing so heavy... Dang.
Starting to loose track how many deer so far within bow range. I think I'm up to ten antlerless, possibly two small bucks.
On my toes and my head is on a swival, geez.

Put in another 1.5 miles today. I’m confident that deer lived after replaying it in daylight. I will say the dog service gave me some closure along with my hike today, but without the dog work I’d be more sick.
Here is was happened. I have two shooters known to me. I run few cams and hunt ultra low impact stands. I got a little too aggressive with days I chose to hunt borderline winds this year. Gave it a couple days rest. Logged off work at 4 and shot my G5 montecs because I had a suspicion that my self sharpening job may have impacted their flight. All hitting left and my fieldpoints were dead on. So, being greedy, I grabbed a 125g rage two blade from my daughter’s xbow bolt and headed in. I was climbing up at 430 and found him at 35 yards while I was half way up my tree. I climbed down and snuck out into the field and was at 30 yards. I debated before that based on the broadhead decision if I could grunt him in to ten yard. Worried he might get down wind and him not knowing I was there I decided to keep quiet. I kept my pin at 35 yards based on the heavier head and that was a mistake. Hit him in no mans land, very high, shocked I didn't spine him. A couple bubbles in the blood where he stopped. Thought he went into the creek and bedded down but he didnt. No blood to speak of and arrow was still in him although it passed through. I’ve shot the 100g rage practice heads and the 125g xbow head just to test and they fly the same. I’m moving on from the montecs. Shitty blood trails and questionable sharpness and impact pf self sharpening isn’t worth this feeling. Picked up rage two blade 100g today and I’ll run those again. I’m at peace with my effort to find him and ready for some time in the woods, especially with my wife. Hoping we get a chance to finish the job on him and hoping he isn't too miserable right now. Curious on opinions of the blood, maybe a three linear foot spot where he stopped.

Deer movement has dramatically increased since first couple hunts of season as expected. Couple small bucks, video buck, and about 10-15 does
Was out this morning and saw nothing. Hardly even any squirrels. Pretty excited about tomorrow morning with the wind direction and temps. Gonna be hard to sleep.
