Been a long few days.. I missed the opener for the first time in 14 years in Va. My dad went in for a catheterization test last Thursday and they found 4 blockages 3 at 90% and 1 at 80%. He was immediately flown to Charleston WV for emergency Quad Bypass. I was a mess to say the least for a few days. He is getting better but still in the hospital.
This buck had ground shrinkage on me.. I shot him Monday evening around 3:30 .. the shot placement was good, behind the shoulder, but the bullet went in and hit something and came out his brisket. He bled like crazy, but I jumped him after about 500 yds. So I backed out and left him overnight. I found him the next morning about 200 yds from where I jumped him. Not a monster, and probably one I should have let walk, but I believe he is a 3 year old, he had a big body. First Kill with my new Smokeless ML build on my Encore Frame.
