Thanks for the reply. I always wondered what happend to him. That area has lots of hiding spots for deer to disappear.
I missed a 38 inch monster last year at 187 yards. We never turned him up again. I've replayed it over and over. We found a hole in the tree behind him that clearly showed the shot was over him. I still wonder were he hid up the rest of the season.
I will be looking for him again this year.
