#1 I was walking out and see a nice buck on a ridge, so I prop up get a shot nothing clean miss he walks about 15 yards stops and I send another one, he falls flipping and rolling towards me so I set and ait for him to expire, ok he done I lean my gun against a tree cause I have to climb a steep hill about 50 yards to get to where he is laying against a tree (not moving) he jumps up staggers into a run only to never see him again.
#2 hunting a field edge I see a buck running in and out of rolls of hay chasing a doe I let out a bleat/grunt to get him to stop let the muzzy roll he falls I reload and look at him in the scope nothing walk over to him bout the time I get there he lets out a sigh and his eyes where watering.
3rd buck is the little nine point I have mounted it was raining and and he walks in front of my hunting house I let the arrow fly hit high but looked descent, found fletchings and approx 6 inches of shaft no deer or blood due to rain, next morning I go hunting same place here comes a buck can't tell much about it other than he looked smaller than the buck from the evening before
so I choose to not shoot. He gets alot closer and I see my arrow sticking up out of out of his back so I shoot him perfect in the heart when I field dressed him his stomach cavity was full of blood he wouldn't have made it much longer all three of these was within two or three years I about said forget hunting!
