Did you find the tracks where he mule kicked? I agree with the dead deer within 100yds

Fairly certain I found where he was standing, nothing. Did find one bit of white hair about 30 yards away near where I think he went in the woods. Cover a block of that area and no buck. Think she grazed him
I feel now he is alive and well. Still have a few weeks and I know there's bigger ones as well. Least I hope so. Thanks for input.

Hate you didnt find him.

I have had similar experiences with a .243 and finally found blood 30-60 yards away from the shot. Always recovered the deer within a 100/150 yards.

bet that buck is dead within 100 yards ,bucks do die harder than does and fawns,bucks will walk farther and just tip over . I did kill a big buck with a 243 win. that buck mule kicked and made it almost 100 yards in the thick brush. good luck

The last deer I shot with a .243 didn't have a blood trail and white hair/ chunks of fat, but I was pretty sure I had a solid hit. He was dead within 75yd. I shot him a little low from a high angle and the exit was under the front leg

If he is dead I'll find him at some point. Hate stomping around in their bedding area this time of year.

Bought a .243 for my son first and my daughter has it now. Good round. Left us frustrated with anything under .95 grain. Specifically 95 grain Hornady works well. Hopefully the deer made it and you just grazed him. She will get him next time. Good work.


Long live Bocephus.

Flipped a yoke yesterday in almost the same spot that buck was standing. I know she is a good shot. Gets me to thinking the shot was good and I just couldn't find him. If I hadn't been watching through my scope I would just believe she missed. I will continue to look after season.

Killed those deer in the "Little man got his first thread" with 87 grain ballistic tip reduced recoil hornsby and neither made it out of the field. Great little guns

I shot a 6 point this morning with a .270 and same thing happened. I knew I got him good but there was no blood. I got lucky and just followed a trail until I found him in the thickets briar patch in Fayette county. I would bet your daughter's gun got it done

Woodrow still might be able to find it. There’s been a lot of 48 hour finds.

Similar thing with me with a 243. Shot a big buck around 125yrds. Deer dropped in his tracks. Watched him kick flop squirm crawl grunt snort you name it. I could see him pick his head up and down. Against better judgement I tried to sneak down and get another shot on him. He got up, didn’t run or have tail up but just almost trot away. Went to where he was laying and didn’t find a drop of blood. Trailed in the direction he went, followed trails found not a thing. Not really into the call a dog fad but I thought the deer was worth it especially with no blood. Never found him. That was on 1/5 and still holding out hope I stumble up on him.

Get a dog. If it's dead you'll find it. If it's not , you won't have trampled the woods down looking for it.

I think if you shoot a deer you should put forth 100% to find the animal..


Heavenly father, to you I pray,
A majestic deer may come my way.
Let my aim be straight and true,
this my Lord, I pray to you.
