On the board for Pa archery season

buck5

 

Well here he is! He is not my biggest buck,but he is my most memorable to date. I initially shot him on 10/24/14 at 5pm roughly. He came in chasing a doe and didn’t give me a whole lot of time to get the camera on him and make the shot. I wasn’t crazy about the shot( due to my angle) and definitely didn’t like how he didn’t go down. I proceeded to track him later that night and ran out of blood. I returned on 10/25/14 and picked up on new blood after about 2 hrs of searching. I followed this bucks blood trail and at times I was on my hands and knees. After 8 total hrs of searching, a crazy series of events, and 1 additional arrow later I finally found the buck I set out to find. Most people would have probably given up, but I knew that as long as I had blood (even a micro dot of blood) I would continue tracking and not give up.At times I was literally crawling to find it. Persistence pays off!
