that a shot deer would run up hill and away from a briar thicket instead of down hill and dead in the middle of one. Its bad enough to have to drag one up hill but to spend 45 minutes crawling through briars to find it first just makes it worse. I think I'm bleeding worse than the deer. my second this year, about biggest one I've shot so far, especially for a doe. Twenty yards, stalk hunt, Ar15 M4, 77g V max, ACOG, entry left chest at an angle, turned inside right shoulder into jello.

Congrats! I wish I had your stalk hunting skills! Seems like the past couple of seasons you've posted about sneaking up on some unexpected deer! Thanks - When they won't come out of the thickets till after dark what else can you do but get in there after them. Really have to watch the wind though. Last night I had one that couldn't have been more than ten yards from me for about twenty minutes. Could not find it to make a shot. Finally got too dark. The one tonight was moving around for thirty minutes or so before I got her. Sneaky. One or two steps, then wait four or five minutes. She was staring straight at me too. Had her hoof up to blow and stomp when I let go on her.

Congrats, I think.
Just start shooting them in the neck or head.

the deer I shoot run down and away...
the ones my wife shoot make a beeline for the truck or nearest road.....
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Trade that toy for a good bolt action in 7mm08 and you want have to track another deer.
