Great job   can you tell us more about the actual hit, since you found him and were able to better assess the damage.  Wher did you hit it and what did the arrow do ?  I see a slit in the belly so I am guessing a pass thru was acheived.

The shot center punched his right side ham and exited about an inch in front of the off side ham.  The slit in the belly was to relieve some of the stomach gas that had built up so the pictures didnt show me sitting next to a bloated deer.  He died on a hill in a bean field and sat there for my guess around 4-5 hours deader than a hammer.  The shot completely severed the femoral artery and lucky enough the arrow fell out of him somewhere along the way. (i have yet to find it)  I think if the arrow had stayed in him the blood wouldnt have been quite as profuse and the track might have been even tougher.  He went around 150 yards and died on his feet.  His antlers were stuck in the dirt when I walked up to him.

One big bodied deer! Congratulations on an awesome hunt. Now how can you make the best of the doe hunt? Great way to see how they act and draw the bucks during the rut. Should pay off in the future.

You did it right.  Got unlucky, then lucky.  Bowhunting can be very trying.  Wouldn't have it any other way.  Very nice buck.  Congrats.

Great job Dustin.  Now you can concentrate on getting a doe.  They will test your hunting more than a buck, IMO.
