I hit a buck I named Optimus (everyone guessed him from 175" to 195") the 4th of September with an arrow in the shoulder. Looked everywhere for him for 2 days. Came to the conclusion that he was not mortally wounded.
I never gave up on him. Have put in 7-10 days looking for him. Passing on several smaller 140-150 deer in hopes to see him again.
Tonight at sunset I found him not a 1/4 mile from where I shot him. He is alive and best thing is that he looks healthy. He polished his antler, not limping, and I can even see where i hit him in no-mans land in the shoulder.
I left him and another small 3x3 feeding along a hillside. Going after him in the morning.
REDEMPTION TIME!!!
