After I'd shot this buck, I decided to leave him overnight because I thought the hit was a bit low and back. It turns out we found him right where I had seen him last as evening light faded away.
I think I got maybe three hours of sleep that night worrying about and re-playing the shot over and over. While laying there, this thought occurred to me. "People that make good shots sleep better at night." Most of us have been there at one time or another, and things generally work out the way they're meant to. But in the lonely darkness on a sleepless night, that's of little consolation.
The tag-punching, photography and packing out were accomplished the next morning, with only a brief overnight visit from the coyotes.
Thanks to all for tagging along.
