It ended up being a classic back slap. I could have swore that the hunter told me he shot the deer while it was running but I guess I misunderstood him. It turned out though that he shot it as it walked out into a food plot. The buck hit the ground and then drug itself off into the woods on its front legs. The ground was tore up where it had thrashed around there for a minute or two and there was actually a fair amount of blood on this one compared to most back slaps.... as well as finding meat at the hit site....but in the end we tracked it for about 600 yards before getting the deer up still alive. We gave chase for a few hundred yards and called it off. I figure he took a big chunk of meat out of the deer's tenderloin right above the shoulders where the spine dips down. I'm pretty sure this one will be ok and show right back up on camera.
