shot a decent buck (aroung 15" spread) this evening right before dark. Knocked it down, saw it doing the death kick right. next thing i know the dang thing was headed down the holler pushing its upper front half with its hind legs. from the tracks it looks like it got back on its front leg(s) and ran out a ridge so i backed out. never had one do this before. any ideas what or where i may have hit it. going back in the morning to look for it.

i walked to where i saw it last but not much thats when i heard it run out the ridge so i left. the last thing i wanted to do was push the deer after what i thought was a good shot. from the tracks look it was carrying one of its front legs.

I say you have a dead deer.Sounds to me like you broke his front shoulders and he was bulldozing..I've had serveral do this before,push their front half with their hind legs,usually from a shoulder shot.. I wouldn't worry much..Where was you aiming?

Yeah I would agree with Cecil. He won't be too far, I wouldn't think.

I agree. But as cold as it is, the meat won't spoil if you leave it until first thing in the morning!
Keep us posted!
