Patience pays off.

Good Buck good tracking

Nice Buck, Congrats, glad you found him....KYArcher

You done good in waiting. Glad it worked out for you.

That a pretty deer ya got. Nice shooting....Phil

Way to go,good job .I also think you hit more than guts. Great looking buck.

I always preach to my Hunter's Safety kids that knowing what to do after the shot is the most under-rated, over-looked part of bowhunting!  Way to do it right and congrats!

Thanks for sharing, good story from beginng to end. IMHO you did everything right, well except it wasn't the perfect shot but you did right by backing out and giving it time. However I will say from the angle it looks like you done more damage than you thought. Personally I've never lost a deer that I poked a hole in the diaphram between the boiler room and the gut cavity. Bet he died quicker than you think.

Nice,I shoot cedar shafts with 100 grain magnus @55lbs do u think i will get good pen or should go heavier they fly good put don't know if they are enough.   Is that a wood shaft in the pic?

Good looking buck...

good choice on coming back the next day...

Thanks for sharing...

Later.....Buzz

Congrats  

   

Nice  

Good recovery and congrats. Most of the paunch hit deer will only go a little ways before bedding down. They will usually die right there if you leave them for at least 10 hours, if  you jump them  the chances of recovery after that gets iffy.

Way to go bro. Thanks for sharing. Bad hits can be lethal. Never give up.  

Congrats!

 

       Congrats!!!

Congrats.

Congratulations! Nice Buck.
