MEXICO SEASON!!!! Trad Bucks pics & Javalina

[Gerardo]

these photo was taken 3 weeks ago , it was great to see these guy eating up the maguey, well when the season starts they know it started and it is difficult to take these pics

Here is some motivation

[Gerardo]

Went last week to hunt in Texas, on public land, it was a real challenge and the weather did not help, it rained mostly all of the days i was there and it was pretty windy ,

I had a nilgai come and stop at 40 yds, i hesitated to shot and well it went away but going there and hunting on public land was a real experience for me, I did not see another trad hunter , and everyone asked me about my camo

Here is for me a hero pic , just going there was a real adventure

[Gerardo]

I'll hunt these weekend here in Mexico with my trad buddys hopefully i can post some pics on monday

good luck to all , and thanks for the support

I will post some pics later on , but (unfortunaly) they will be of my bloddy arrow.

I need some help and here is my post to get some help of the gang.

I saw a very nice old 8 point about a 130, and made a shot but my arrow went about 10 inches from the front leg same line but to the back so you can say at about the middle of the stomach.

After the shot the buck ran about 30 yds then decided to walk and my cedar arrow with stos broadhead was hanging from the nock on the other side.

At about 80 yds he stopped and stayed there for about 3 minutes and came back towards me but never presented a follow up shot. The arrow was no longer hanging from the side of him and the cut was very clear.

It was about 8:10 and 20 minutes have passed since I shot my buck and I was still seeing him.

He was walking slowly like if he was wounded and  heading for the thick brush , the fog was really heavy and i didn´t want to lose sight of him , so i got out of my blind (ground blind) and headed to try to make a follow up and mortal shot, but i never saw him again, and didn`t try to get in the brush as the wind was not in my favor and the fog will not let me see him

I waited for an hour and went to see if i could see some blood where i saw him walk, the floor was covered with very red dark blood (to my surprise)and i went where the deer had stopped about 80 yds or so and there was my arrow really covered with blood.

Seeing the arrow got me motivated i had taught it was a gut shot but if there was a lot of blood these was good. I started my search(1hrs after shot, big mistake) and I went after him only to find more signs but no deer,

these was yesterday morning and after lunch we searched again and we think we jumped him two times so at 4pm we stopped and here i am

What to do?
Did I hit the liver? if so how much time for him to die?
I want to see a good deer anatomy pic and can`t find one in the web

maybe the air squadron ( vultures ) will find him , but i really want to find him before them

thanks

Get back out there and see if you can pick up
the trial. If not do a grid search and good luck.Let us know how it unfolds.

[Ray Hammond]

I would have given the deer five or six hours on a hit based on your description, wihtout pressuring him.

[lpcjon2]

Turkey522 is right go and look again if it was a liver shot he has to be dead by now.look to see if the spots he has laid down are getting closer together and then spread out and you should find him.good luck

[Fritz]

Sounds like a liver shot. Do what Ray said and you should find your deer.  Good luck!

I can't go today so i will go tomorrow morning and

come back with my deer
(that is motivation)

the problem is that today it is a sunny day and tomorrow there is a a probability of rain and cold weather,

but I will do what I can , I have heard that sometimes deer go back the way they came in and i did not check a field on the back of my blind so , i will go tomorrow and finish the soles of my boots
