Thanks Adam. Ive been on a lot of goose chases for others critters and learned a lot. But this was my first goose chase with my own deer. It was a lot of work trudging through deep snow, wind blowing 15-20 mph and snowing mad. The blood speckles kept us trucking, hard to turn away from blood. A lot of things had to happen right for us to find him. Snow was essential, the local yocal stopping and telling us it was public across the highway and of course a lack of any other deer sign to muddle it up. Everything was right except the ending. Still on me, good shot=dead deer. I missed my mark by 3" on a quartered deer and paid for it. Id take the same shot tomorrow.
