DanaM:
Thats a bummer ryan :( I'm also hunting stone this year. Have monday thru sunday off so will be after them all week.
Should have shot a yote :)
Pat B:
Sorry you didn't recover your deer. Do you think the outcome would be better if you used steel? You got good penetration and through the vitals. Did you let her lay for a while before tracking her? Not having an exit wound makes for some very difficult tracking without blood to follow. Sounds like with as many deer as you saw you will get another chance. ;) Pat
Ryano:
Don't know Pat. Seemed like it should of bled at least a little bit, the entrance wound wasn't that high. We left it lay for like 4 hours before we went after it. It was cold yesterday, first frost of the year. I'm heading back out there right now with my dog to see if she can find it, or whats left of it. :P
Dana, I was carrying my bow but them coyotes didnt hold still, they were running around us.
Keenan:
Good luck Ryan, Though a quartered away is the best shot you can take and best for penetration to the vitals it can be a real bear to track if you are through the stomach on the entrance and have no exit. I doubt the senario would be much diferent with steel. Behind the last rib forward will as you said take out liver, diaphragm and opposite lung but often the stomack with seal the entrance. Seem it several times.hope ya find her Bro. Use those yotes as trackers they'll find her no problem
GregB:
Sorry you couldn't find your doe Ryan. That occasionally happens when hunting even with the best of preparation. Keith loss a doe Saturday morning even with what he thought was a good hit. She poured the blood the first 75 yards or so and then just stopped. We looked for her for several hours really searching the thickets without success. Each of us thought from the blood that she shouldn't have traveled far...
Keith killed a 6-point that same Saturday evening.
