[QUOTE="Boone 58, post: 2878043, member: 2257"] I shot a nice 8 pt about 6 years ago and i watched it run 30 yards up a creek bank and drop on the ground outstretched and lay there. I watched it a few minutes and then proceeded to come down from my climbing stand 30 ft up a tree. i got down on the ground, reloaded and slowly walked down the ridge to it and at about 20 yards from it i stopped and the buck raised its head and balled real loud and dropped its head back down on the ground....i aimed at it and almost pulled the trigger but figured it was down for the count and didnt want to mess up any part of it with another bullet. i took one careful step and that buck catapulted up from the ground and ran straight up hill and quarted away from me to my left so fast i couldnt even get on him and pull the trigger. i distinctly saw dark colored blood coming from the liver hit area and just knew i would find him but i looked and looked and looked and the blood trail played out in rough cutover and i NEVER saw him again. I have beat myself up sooooo many times since then over the thought of not shooting because i would mess him up a little more. never again, shoot away if in doubt ....... ;) [/QUOTE]
