Shot a decent buck tonight, probably equal too or bigger than my current best. I shot him slightly quartering away, and he kicked at the shot. I saw him run off for 40 yards or so before I lost sight, running wide open. I found one patch of blood about 20 yards from the hit. It was about 15 drops, ranging from quarter size to BB size, stretching about a 15 foot trail. The color of the larger drops was the same as a buck I shot through the shoulders with a muzzleloader a couple weeks ago, dark red and smooth, no bubbles. The tiny spatters were bright red and smooth, like that of a leg hit. We could not find any more blood, and I was with an excellent blood trailer.
We stopped looking due to loss of light. Its gonna be in the teens tonight, so the meat will be fine, and we are going to spend the day looking tomorrow. What do you all think?
Rifle was a 30/06 with 150 gr core loks. The SP ones, not the Core Lok Ultras.
Thanks for any info.
