I finally got him to stop just before he got into the woods and was pretty confident it was him. I squeezed off a shot. He mule kicked and ran up in the woods and I lost sight of him. He didn’t bolt like he was slammed hit, just kicked and ran off. I waited about 10 minutes to calm my nerves and went to find him.

Got to the area where he was standing and no blood, no hair. I looked for an hour and found nothing. I backed out and called CNC. We’re gonna try him after church. I’m pretty bummed but maybe we will find him. Or maybe a clean miss.


Mule kick…. You hit him. I’ve never seen a deer mule kick that wasn’t hit. Good luck this afternoon with the dog.


Marsh, our dog (Killer Attack Dog) won’t eat if we’re not home either. Crazy.

Jesus... I hope you know Him personally like I do.

Si vis pacem, para bellum.

Proud crossbow hunter!
