Wife shot a monster and can't find it!!!!! - 01/07/11 02:15 AM
Here is the situation. My wife shot a buck that we have on camera yesterday around 4:15 pm. This buck is an absolute stud. If all the folks that gave there guess on his size right he will be between 140-150 inches. My wife shot him at about 75 yards broadside. When I get to the spot where she shot the deer all I can find is about 3 handfuls of brown hair and a chunk of meat. I found hair on the ground and in a bush that was about head high. I know she hit him high. I'm thinking she hit him in the tenderloin or just below. I never found any blood just hair and a chunk of meat. I also found some hair on a tree where he went into the woods. So I know kinda which way he went. My wife says she heard a crash in the woods about 15 mins later in the direction it look like he was headed. We never found him last night and she went back and looked this morning and didn't find anything. My question is do you think that were she hit him was likely a fatal wound. I was just wondering because there is a creek bottom about 400 yards from where she shot him. I was unable to go today because of having to work and am going to go in the morning and walk the creek bottom. She wouldn't walk off in to the creek bottom cause she was afraid of getting lost. What do y'all think?
