Thanks guys. He's kinda a runty looking thing but the body didn't match the head gear and there's plenty of meat there for me and the family.

Feel very lucky to have bagged him truth be told. Aside from being stubborn I didn't do a whole lot of 'right' that day but man am I glad to have finally succeeded!!!

Great story.  Certainly seems to be the deer that was meant for you!  Great perseverance on the bloodtrail!
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Nice story.  Only 3 years?  Took me 13 years to get one and it was a doe.

Congrats Ross! Way to stick with your deer even without blood.  Some people give up w/o blood, but some dead deer never drip a drop of blood on the ground.  Awesome job.
