Congrats to ya brother. I understand your dismay with the shot, but lots of folks would not have followed up like you did. That's the way we all should be, never give up! Persistence paid off.
Well done.

Great recovery!  Hats off to you and Arlo for relentlessly staying on the buck's trail.  The script doesn't always read the way we want it, but through your trailing diligence you now have a great buck.

Congratulations on a fine Wisconsin buck!     :clapper:

That's an awesome buck! I sure am glad it worked out for you. I know exactly the feeling you described in your writeup. I have made a few blunders, and it tears me up any time it happens, especially if it was my fault!

Congrats to you and Arlo!

It's always good for refreshers and more perspectives on blood trailing!  

Congrats on your buck, and thanks for sharing!

Every once I awhile I read something here that demands my attention, and your story did that.  Thanks for the honesty and the desire to share something that may help another hunter.

I am very glad it turned out the way it did. I don't know you but I am guessing it could not happen to a nicer guy.  Congratulations all the way around.

NICE one Joe! Living in a state with generous bag limits, I've been on literally hundreds of bloodtrails and only twice have we pushed one. And we got em both. I'm glad you told the story as it happened, because I'm convinced there has been at least one story on TG were I think the hunter might have recovered his deer had he pushed it. Congratulations

Congrats Joe. I understood perfectly the emotions you were feeling after the shot and probably into most of the track. A job well done by you and Arlo. Glad things ended the way they did. Awesome deer.
