[QUOTE="Stayinthewoods, post: 5770948, member: 21055"] Good morning all. I got a call back from one of the guys listed above last night and he was two hours away so put me in touch with a gentlemen out of Palmersville. He came straight out and was great to work with. Watching him and the dog work was incredible. We unfortunately couldn't find the deer. Looked until 1:00 a.m. and looked a little this morning but unfortunately it had rained for a while before we got out there. I watched him come out into a field and took my shot perfectly broadside. Deer dropped like a sack of potatoes and didn't move for 15-20 seconds. As always, I had another round in the chamber. He stood up and walked 10 foot facing away. I put him in Jr scope and could see the exit wound, a little high and behind the shoulder. He turned broadside and I shot again. Dropped, not a bit of movement out of him. Got another round chambered and stared at him through the scope for 5 minutes and not a twitch. At this point I climbed down and waited for dad to come to the stand. He came from opposite direction of deer so he couldn't have bumped it. We stood at the base of my stand for 20-30 minutes shootin' bull. Then started down the field and started stopping every 30 yards to look at him through binoculars and never saw him. Once we got within 50 yards I accepted fate. He had gotten up and left town. Went to edge of field where he dropped and found tons of blood. Trailed into woods a small piece and decided to back out and that's when I got back to camp and posted. Based off where I saw the exit wound I can't help but think I hit between lung and spine, and possibly on the second shot as well. Pretty heartbroken over this one. I HATE to wound a deer and am always very particular about the shots i take. I have been after him for a while now. 7mm-08 139 grain Hornady SST 150 yard shot [/QUOTE]
