New to the board. I've read for a few years and have enjoyed your stories. I hunt in Mississippi and West Tenn (Chester county) and I finally had an interesting deer hunting story to share. I shot this big boy last year but never found him. No blood at all. Now he was facing me when I shot so it wasn't broad side. So the bullet would have to travel the length of him but I shoot a 30-06 so I would have expected a little blood. Anyway, found him last Friday and while I hate that he died without recovery, I'm enjoying the story and rack. My biggest ever. He was about fifty yards from the shot location. I think he ran down a hill and then circled me and hid in a area of tree falls that is pretty thick. Since I didn't see any blood along the trail for a few hundred yards I figured a miss. The lesson I've learned is to not give up on the tracking.
