Tuesday

For further explanation. Head was up. White patch on his neck. Dog tracked him all the way to the creek. Creek was full. Brought the dog around to the other side, he’d act like he picked it back up but then would just keep doubling back.

Slow morning, 9:45 only deer of the day comes out. Nice 9 point I’ve been after. Only gives me one shot before he disappears inside the tree line, he’s facing me head on. Put it at the base of his neck and take the shot. He immediately buckled and falls back in the trail, kicks a few times, then still. I look at him through the scope, give him roughly 4/5 min. And then I stand up to rearrange my chair that I had to maneuver to get the shot off. I hear and see him get up and run a dead sprint through the woods and disappears. No blood where he originally laid, we give him a few hours then fan out in the direction he went. Randomly stumble upon blood 100 yards away. Continue to follow blood trail for 625 yards (GPS) till we hit the big creek and another lease.
Did he make it?

Update: deer made it. Caught him on trail cam on lease last night. Think I caught him low in the brisket and just shocked him. I was shooting a 270 Winchester short mag. For all you “pro” “low percentage shot” folks out there the deer was 40 yards. Typically I shoot all my deer in the neck broadside or not. I took a shot I’ve taken 10-15 times before and never had an issue. All in all your all entitled to your opinion. Happy hunting.

Wait, so we break the all time LSU single game rushing record twice (almost a third time) and you want to fire the o-line coach. Gotcha..

Came here for hand bras, left disappointed.

Bold prediction, as in one we are not hearing a lot about? PJ Fleck.
Rising guy in coaching that'll see a big time program come calling soon.
Casual fans would hate the hire.

"New Saint Nick Fairley leads all DTs this preseason in run stop percentage at 30.8%. Has 4 run stops on 13 run defense plays. -PFF"

Small sample size, but still some good preseason notes.
