He's certainly no giant, but he's mine! My first trad deer, and the first buck I've recovered (Sadly I've been on a roughly 3 year bad luck streak with recovering bucks)

Turns out the shot entered behind the last rib at a very steep angle, cut through the diaphragm only 2-3 inches above the bottom of the chest cavity, cut one lung, and cut the heart but not enough that it went into the chamber of the heart, but certainly weakened the muscle drastically.

 

This is one I won't soon forget! I'm really happy that I was able to deliver a clean kill to this one, and I can only hope that all the rest go as smoothly.

Thanks to all for the advice and thanks for watching. Sorry I couldn't send updates along the way, but man did I have my hands full!!

Was he missing a lower leg or was it just buried under the leaves?

Great shot by the way

Thank to everyone for the kind words! Next weekend it's back to the woods, to try for a doe. Then I've got to decide If I start hunting in VA again, or stick it out in MD until late november when I can try to get a big boy during the gun season (with the bow of course).

I've also decided to try to take the next one with one of my handmade bows ...

Fanto, all his legs were intact, just the fronts were pulled in close and poartially buried under the leaves, and his back legs were stretched out perfectly straight so he just looks dispraportioned.
