Sat. night i get a call from a friend hunting upstate NY on his own, bout 4 PM
he shot a big 6 pointer from his ladder stand. His first deer - he's all
excited. It dropped dead still at the shot, he's halfway down the ladder when it
gets up and staggers around and then bolts off running strong. ***? I get
there first light Sunday and spent the next 6 hours trying to track this deer. I
used hydrogen peroxide and found a 2" splotch of blood where it dropped and then NOTHING. we could see its tracks and figured the direction it was going they eventually disappeared kept sweeping and spraying, looking for some sign all the way to the road and people's backyards. bummed to say the least. Checked his sight - it was on. I figure it was to his right, which is awkward for a righty
he must have jerked the trigger and pulled it high, grazed its skull and gave it
a good headache. Exhale and squeeze, buddy Live and learn I trust.
