Well, my black walnut and hickory Mahantango Red Tail hammers another doe. This was just a yearling, but it will be good eating. Too many deer in this spot anyway. It is over browsed etc. I digress.
So, I make the exact same shot as my last deer, and I know it's a done deal. I went out to the place I thought I heard it go down. No deer, no blood.... :dunno: I tell myself, hey dummy, follow the blood trail and never think you know where it went. Sure enough she took a hard right along the way. Found her piled up 60 yards over from where I expected. So always follow the blood.
Stick was 47#@28" 765gr arrow using Abowyer brown bear BH

Congrats Jerry!
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Way to go Jer and excellent advice. Assume nothing unless you can actually see the animal from your stand site. Blood doesn't lie. Congrats. Winter bow again with the guys? :clapper:
Good job!
Had the same thing happen to me.... literally. I had two walk back to my stand and start over. She was only 60 to 80 yards total from my tree, but in the thick brush I couldn't find her. I had to "follow the blood" even though i more or less saw her down. :)
Congrats!!
Congrats!

Cool! :thumbsup:
765 grain arrow out of a 47 lb bow, Wow!

Nice Jerry! Got one today and followed your advice! I looked at what I thought was a trail and nothing! Then I said Jerry said follow the blood and there she was. Follow the blood!
Nice one Jerry! Congrats.

10-4, follow the blood. No better advice than that.
Nice job!
