Thought I would share a few more pics of my buck. Shot him back and knew right away it was a bad hit. I knew he would be dead though and wanted to do the animal justice. Two days later I found him but some others beat me to it.

I am proud I stuck it out though.

Great buck ozzz, way to stick with it. I think a lot of guy's would have given up after a day.

Thanks guys. Its definitely not fun searching that long, part of you wants to just keep hunting but I knew he was dead and had to do the right thing.

He only went like 250 yards maybe 300 but dumped off to a side that is a nasty prickley ash thicket. I definitely got some good tracking experience.

Great job Ozzz. That is a dandy buck. It is nice to get closure even if the out come wasn't as scripted.

Congratulations on finding him and sticking with it. I just got done w/ a 3.5 day search for one that I hit on Wed, but officially threw in the towel on searching about an hour ago (yesterday I said I was done looking, but just had to give it another go today). It sucks, and I hope I never go through this again. Congratulations, and I commend you for sticking with it.

Sorry tp hear that man, definitely one of the worst feelings you can have as a hunter.
