My only off day this week is today. This wind is ripping at 15 mph steady at my house. I know I have heard a bunch of times you cant kill them on the couch but just wandering if any of yall have had any luck in these conditions or if you guys think its worth a try this evening?
I like bow hunting in the wind, as I get away with movement. I've killed big deer with rifle in heavy wind as well. God Bless, David B.

That was fast. Just had two young ones out of spots and doe come in from my right in range. Doe paused at my 1 o'clock and smelled me. It would be great if this wind would just pick one direction to blow.

Absolutely the best days to hunt. It gives the hunter so many advantages he normally does not have

Stuck a doe 45 minutes ago. Been dragging her uphill to the truck for about 20 minutes. 25 more yards to go at a 45° angle.

Backed out. Going back 1st thing in the am. Didn’t find any blood on impact spot or where she went back in the thick stuff. She carried my arrow with her. On impact she sat down rolled on her side and got up and left but was struggling. That's definitely a unique reaction to a bow shot....Where do you think you might have hit?

She was quartered towards me slightly. When she left the field it looked like it was back a little but not guts. Maybe a little high and back. She was definitely slow leaving. She went in the thick stuff and guessing by the sound she may have went another 50yds then she stopped. I don’t know if she laid down or started walking. I walked to the edge just to see if maybe I could see my lighted knock but it’s too thick. So I’ll go back in the am when I can see better and hopefully she will be there.

Good call......She may have been a little more quartered to you than you realized. That happens a lot. Sounds like it might have angled back into the guts maybe. Good luck this morning..... I bet she won't be far.

Still looking. Started out with good blood on ground and limbs. Then tapered down to nothing. Found my arrow. Looked like penetration went almost to the fletchings then broke and pulled out. We found a lot of blood high on some limbs so I think I may have hip shot her. My friend is on nights so I just had to take him back to his truck. I’m back out here now still looking. Right now my only hope is to find her with no blood left. It completely stopped after about 100yds in thick thick stuff. I’m in a clear cut so with some luck I may find her where she laid down and died. If it’s a hip shot for sure hopefully she can recover. I set some cams out to see if she shows back up. I ain’t done yet though. Just need some luck for once. Well dang.....maybe you will find her.

Check the dog pages on Facebook and see if anyone has a young dog that are just looking for experience tracks....I'm sure there's probably somebody around there chomping at the bit to get their pup some work. They'll be doing it for free so that they can get the dog real world experience.

They'll be doing it for free so that they can get the dog real world experience. I’d be glad to let somebody’s dog come run the trail if they just want to get one out and about. I have good blood for a ways but once it ran dry that was it and from that point I have no idea which way she went. No sign of anything. I looked for 4hrs solid this am and I’m confident she got away from me. I’m sick about it but I think she’ll survive.

If want me to....PM your phone number and general location to me and I'll post it up on the dog pages and see if someone wants to try their dog on it. There's a whole thing on there about folks with new dogs just wanting to go on these types of tracks.

If there's a creek nearby or water hole...be sure to check there before giving up....even if its not exactly the direction she took off. A lot of times they turn off a different direction after the initial flight out of the area.

Dang dude. Thought this would be the one. Yeah me too. Should’ve gave her another minute to turn better. If there's a creek nearby or water hole...be sure to check there before giving up....even if its not exactly the direction she took off. A lot of times they turn off a different direction after the initial flight out of the area. No creek nearby that area. She ran up hill for the whole 150yds or so and it the blood just stopped. We did half circles in that area for 3hrs and came up with nothing.
