So after further review it looks like the buck I shot this week is a total loss in meat. What I originally thought was the bullet entry hole in the abdomen was actually a puncture wound with internal damage. A second puncture wound was found in the neck. Both looked to be from another bucks antlers and both sights were badly infected.
Both rear hams were chewed on by coyotes also obviously a result from being left for over a day. With all that I'm not taking any chances with it. I'm considering it a total loss.
The only good news was confirmation of a good shot. Near shoulder, double lung.

Last chance this afternoon to get my kid out in the woods for the season. We were hoping for a shot at a buck of any size but unfortunately tonight wasn't the night. A few deer sight in the far end of the field and that would be it.

Man that sucks!! Just a few more yards to a recovery of a double lung shot.. that’s got to turn your guts into a knot!! Sad feel bad for ya Bud!!! On a brighter note, maybe it was ment to be, first off you don’t really want to eat the meat if it was green from infections, plus those damn dogs eating the azz out, seems like when ever a deer lays overnight. Did you keep the horns?? Sorry to hear your sad story. The biggest buck I ever shot went to pull the hide off and the yellow/green smear ran out:puke: all I got was the head mounted. Arrow in the ass, buck shot pellets and a 223 pill lodged between the front blades. So ya I feel for ya!!

Sorry to hear that. On one hand it might be considered the humane thing to do- dispatch a terminally injured animal. However, it is a lot of work to harvest a deer and have it be a total loss. Regardless, i guess its not easy being Big Buck of the woods. Best of luck on the rest of ur outings.

That's the craziest hunting spot I guess you'd have to be there but it looks like if you moved and slipped just a foot forward your family would be cashing in your life insurance policies:lol:

It's got a name but father in-law doesn't know the name. Walked down the gully half way down walked up on a bedded 6 pt . Double lucky no buck tag and don't know how the drag out is down there. I moved away from that work area.

A few deer started moving just before 4pm but it wasn't until after dusk that they really started to move. At least 15 deer seen and I can only confirm one set of antlers. Never had a good shot at a big doe. I hunted from the ground and seven of them past right by my stand. Of course. I have had a camera there since the last day of gun season and it has a ton of pictures of deer in the field. One more chance at it tomorrow.

That's the third one I've heard of this week.

Congrats to everyone who put tags on deer wether racked or not! Will be back at it 2 weeks from now in Ohio and can't wait!
