Congratulations! I'm glad you followed through and recovered your trophy even when the going got rough. On our family farm if we don't recover a dead deer within 30 minutes, grey foxes will start on the rear end of the carcass. Although we take many foxes by snares, traps, and bows (15+ between my brother and I last year on the 40 acres!), we know to get on a bloodtrail and follow up as soon as the situation (Dependent on arrow placement, deer reaction on impact/flight, etc.)allows.
