Well my hunt never got started. I'm an idiot. Something didnt look right with my peep sight so I drew back to check the alignment, and when doing so something popped and my string jumped off the track essentially causing a dry fire. When that happened somehow the string cut my middle finger down to the bone. Ouch! Sitting at American Family Care now waiting to get stitches. I'm sure my bow is screwed. Good luck to everyone else! Hate to hear that JBS. You may already know this, but go over both limbs with a fine-tooth examination. You can have a tiny crack that's unseen by the naked eye that could end up doing serious damage later. Good luck healing...

After 30 min I got down and looked at arrow. It's covered in blood. But I walked about 15 yards in the direction he went and don't se anymore blood. Not sure if I should keep walking in that direction or back out.
Not sure how long this rain is gonna hold off. Can't wait to hear the end of this, I hope you find him!

Great deer, good shooting! Once u kill a rack buck with a bow something changes in u. The woods get smaller. U become a part of them. Give us details on the recovery when u catch your breath.
Ps, makes me want to climb a tree.

Congrats Clark.
JBS, that sucks! I had a small twig get between my string and cam one time that caused it to jump of. Congrats Clark that's awesome! Nice buck. Just got back home all stitched up and got to inspect my bow. I definitely have at least one of the split limbs with a crack in it. I hope my season isn't over! Who could have me put back together with new limbs and string by new years? Shaw maybe? I'm so depressed right now. TR62 it was either something like you said that derailed my string or it was my cam. This is my 3rd cam on this mathews creed in less than a year. The past 2 were defective and mathews replaced them for me. This cam is an XS cam on the original creed. I guess they gave up on the creed cam.

Thanks guys. At about 9: 00 I hit the grunt call a couple of times. Just a few seconds later this buck came trotting straight towards me. At12 yards he turned broad side and I let the arrow fly. I had to shoot between two trees and hit him just a tad back. My arrow had dark red blood on it. I figured it was liver so I decided to give him a little while. After lunch me and my Dad went to look for him. We found him pretty quick. He probably went 60 yards. When field dressing him I could see that I did get liver and also one lung. I've never had one come in to a grunt call like that. It was pretty cool.
