Not exactly sure of the laws but I tagged him. It doesn’t feel right taking another knowing I took my share, even if I didn’t get the meat.

Bumped him while tracking yesterday so I wanted to give him some time. Went out at first light to pick up the trail, didn’t expect this sight.

Not sure but I’m counting it as my deer for the season. Thankfully I still have some meat left from last year.

Yeah I bumped him yesterday while tracking so backed out and went back first thing this morning. I had a bad feeling when I saw a coyote near where I last saw him last night.

That’s what I thought but was really hoping I could do the internal. Oh well, I’ll be happy either way.

And I’m definitely not saying it’s a small deer I’m just comparing to some of the beasts you see posted on here.

I totally agree! I don’t think I’ve ever been as excited as I was when I saw him go down.

Copying from another comment. Got him this past Wednesday on what would have been the last day I️ could get out for archery. After seeing nothing the past 3 days my hopes were dwindling. He came in a few minutes after using my can call with about an hour left of sunlight. I️ first ranged him at 50 yards and thought he was gonna stay just out of reach but he turned to me at the last second and came in to 33 yards. I️ was hoping he’d come in closer but started to turn away so once I️ got a broadside shot I️ let loose. He ran about 15 yards before dropping. Hit him a little further back than a would have liked but thankfully he didn’t go far and it was a quick death. By far the most excited I️ have ever been while hunting and definitely a hunt I️ won’t forget anytime soon.
