Congrats to your friend on finding his deer.

I also agree with Phil and yourself on that your buddy needs to learn from this which I'm sure he will. Glad he'll get some meat out of it TOO.

Wish i could say that i didn't make any mistakes when i first started bow hunting but i did and after more than twenty years i'm just starting to get a handle on it lol. Congrats to your buddy!!!

That is a great point. I am right there with you. Made plenty of mistakes. Still make them sometimes. Shot angles, and placement are things I focus on. Last year I made two shots I wasn't proud of. Both deer recovered. If they were quartering to I am not sure I would have recovered.

All in all its just a good thing he found it. Mistakes are made, and lessons are learned.

We've all made our share of mistakes. Glad he was able to recover the deer.

Glad he found it. From the looks of that arrow I would have waited a long time to follow for sure. An older mature buck and that kind of hit following too quickly would surely make for a long night and next day.

Yeah Hicks I was going back a ways to when I shot my first one with a bow and it was a small button buck. Finally hit it with my third shot lol. To me that deer was a trophy.

Glad it worked out for the best. I have had a lone doe walk in on me and after seeing nothing all evening, (and no other deer to size her up with) she seemed bigger than she was.
