Deer season has come to an end for me today. I shot a 7 point buck this morning.
Rattled him in around 8 am, he gave me an 8 yard broadside shot. I thought I had made a good shot but my heart sunk when I watched him walk , albeit slowly, away.
Good thing it's on video. I gave him some time, went home to review the vid and it looks like a good shot. I started tracking again at 11 am. I lost his blood trail 3 or 4 times, but persistence pays off and 2 hours later I found him. He was still alive so I had to put another in him. I was so relieved to find him, I felt like crap when he walked away. After finding him I see why he went so far, I hit him high with the initial shot and only got 1 lung. But now he's hanging in my garage, and I couldn't be happier.

Re: Deer Season 2014
Congratulations! It's bitter sweet. It's always great to tag out but then there's another whole year of waiting for the new season. 
You're only paranoid if everyone isn't out to get you.
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
