Another thought - since he was running wide open and then just vanished, it sounds like he went down for good. You might have walked by him in a thick cutover and simply not seen him. If you can’t find a good dog, then I’d be grid-searching that place. You might also get back up where you shot from, and have someone walk out in the cutover (with a lot of orange on) and maybe you can direct them to the last place you actually saw the buck.

Good luck - hope y’all find him.


Jesus... I hope you know Him personally like I do.

Exactly. Daylight will make a world of difference.

I don’t know how to handle the fact there will probably be 2 to 4 orange hats on that gas line in the morning. frown

Get there early before them wearing your orange, and then go about your business.

Just go hunt the spot in the morning. Most people will be gone by morning. If it was a miss he might be back

Good luck! Just based on description it sounds like a hit. If it was a bang-bang shot and your son didn't have time to get shook up before hand I'd be even more confident in a hit.

I have a dog but she is only about 50% and struggles if there is absolutely 0 blood but she could possibly wind it anyway if it's a buck and dead. If you cant find anyone with a good dog let me know. Ben 2055669691

Thanks. We’re sitting back right now. Someone is sitting 50 yards from the point of impact. Got here as early as we could, but his mother is on call and not dragging him out of bed at 4am.

No, but don’t know if we should since there is a bright orange hat nearby.

I know I'm late to the conversation, but next time, bring you a spray bottle full of peroxide. It will bubble up on the blood. One of the biggest bucks I ever shot at did the same exact thing you described. The bullet cut his chest hair off. Hope you find him bud.

Joe, I jumped a 3yo 8pt one time in a sage field that made about three jumps like a mule deer then the third time he hit the ground it was like he jumped off into a hole, I never saw him again. He was about 40yds away from me when he disappeared. I walked that whole field out, never saw him again, couldnt find a trail he made, he was just gone. They are ghosts.
