Well we're about 1.7 miles from where I shot her to where the arrow was located. I went to where I last seen that doe and no blood anywhere on the ground and not really any sign of movement. I did jump a little 4 point buck so I found the trail he jumped on trying to use him as a tracking dog but I wasn't fast enough to keep up with him. I gotta give a 👏 to yall who shoot deer with bows and recover your deer. This is my 2nd deer I've shot this year and so far I've been unsuccessful on the recovery. I'm so darn frustrated, disappointed and upset about this morning, I'm done until gun season. I'm gonna continue my search for this deer in hopes I can find it. Fixed triple blade broadheads... I won’t touch a mechanical even though they’re “usually” good.

I told myself I’d take the day off due to the wind....
But I think I’m gonna quietly explore a 40 acre parcel that I’ve been needing to scout and haven’t focused on yet. I believe my gun season self will appreciate me dropping a few pins out there in spots with a good long view, and maybe I’ll get lucky with another deer from the ground.

I got down early this morning when big limbs started flying all around me. Did some walking around and switched cards in two cams. Buck movement really picked up this past week. Hope that continues with this warm weather ahead.

See if you can find someone with any dog I found one years back with my brothers dog he’s was no deer or hunting dog just a dog Put them on the blood or scent it may just happen worst case you tried Don’t throw in the towel yet I’ve walked right by a dead deer more than once and never seen it

Think I know why I’ve not seen deer they cut two rows of trees from under the power lines I always park down the road in a water way and than walk right down it to my stand but today I went down the road to see mom she said they been there three days cutting grinding trees On a good note they left a ton of firewood I talked to them this spring when they marked them now I just got to pick it up so I’m off

On my house lots of deer just all night have no idea why they switched seen them most of the summer during daylight go figure maybe they will switch back after full moon
My BIL place no deer on cams but honestly it’s more of a run way it’s normally better during gun as the deer use it to travel from woods to woods under pressure they can be there off and on during bow but it’s hit or miss most days

First tree I put my climber on and started climbing up, decided I needed to get closer so I tore it down and moved 60 yards closer to bedding thicket. Gonna be on top of me if they come out but should be a chip shot. All lashed to the mast and ready. Pucker factor is high... But i dont think they heard me walking in. So I got that going for me, which is nice.

I'm doing just that. Not to sound greedy, but it's still early and I have tags to burn. Are you in reduction ? No sir, I'm hunting the HNF at Saddle Lake

Well guys it saddens me to say that after several hours and 8 of us total doing a grid search we came up with nothing. Very few drops of blood where the arrow was and nothing else to go by. I led the pack to where I last seen that doe and we started from there and still no sign of blood or any evidence of which direction she went. Everyone used cell phones to correspond during the search and recovery and we still came up with nothing. Only thing i can think of is I hit high and the shot was at to much of angle due to how she was quartering and the arrow never made the pass through. Hence the reason we found the arrow so far from where I originally shot her. I feel like such an amateur hunter who has no business doing what I do but I have so many years of hunting under my belt.

The broadheads I'm using now are the Rage Hypodermic Slip Cam with a 2"+ cut. Only thing I can think of is the quartering shot I made.

Who's hunting this evening? Trying to decide if the wind is going to die down enough to go sit over a cut corn field.
