Congrats magoo!  I have been looking for this thread and was wondering how the hunt turned out for you.  Glad for you!

great find... something made you walk that different trail!
Just wish we knew how to recognize our instincs.
A lost art form if you ask me

congrats

Congratulations!   I'm glad you followed through and recovered your trophy even when the going got rough.    On our family farm if we don't recover a dead deer within 30 minutes, grey foxes will start on the rear end of the carcass.   Although we take many foxes by snares, traps, and bows (15+ between my brother and I last year on the 40 acres!), we know to get on a bloodtrail and follow up as soon as the situation (Dependent on arrow placement, deer reaction on impact/flight, etc.)allows.

Good job in staying at it. Looks like those pine needles make blood hard to see anyway.

I had to let one set overnight last season, my butcher told me the part of the deer they watch for spoilage is around the rectum, that is were the heat escapes. My deer was still good but it was 20 degrees that night.
