Very lucky to recover this buck……He was shot low and way back in the guts with a crossbow……He went a total of around 750 yards and swam across two sloughs…..Pretty sure the hunter was probably bumped him last night……

This is the first slough he crossed about where the point comes out on the left…..He crossed from right to left and then went up over that ridge…..



……and back down to another slough…..a much bigger one this time…..We tracked him to the water’s edge and were contemplating our next move when I spotted him laying on the bank on the other side……
