2022 Deer Pics/Chatter/Excuses

Really really appreciate the offer! My sons buddy had one that lost a lot of blood last Saturday. They looked for hours but the trail cross crossed itself a few times. They never found it. We don’t think it left the property so there may be a chance to recover the rack.
As far as the kid last night, I would just assume that he missed. If it weren’t for how the deer acted, I would chock it up to a miss.

The walking away twitching the tail makes me think he’s hit, but I’ve been wrong before.

In your case, it could be one of two things. Maybe there haven’t been any deer, but it could also be that someone else wanted a new cell camera. I’m really hoping it’s the former and not the latter.

It’s in a steel box that I camouflaged, and it’s steel cabled to the tree. If someone wants it they’ll have to put in some effort. As of last night it’s still there. I can request check in pics, which I’ve been doing lol

I've never had a deer twitch it's tail and walk away after a hit. And don't believe that nonsense a deer won't run uphill after being shot.

I've got a neighbor over here now at my place tracking one he shot....to be continued.

I've seen them (bucks) do it every time they've been hit back behind the vitals. Does are unpredictable and have seen both.

I’ve had a bunch do the tail twitching, and the most recent was the buck I killed in TX a couple weeks ago. As a matter of fact, he was heading downhill when he fell.

I guess I've been lucky

I would have thought there would be some hair at the impact point. I followed the two main trails he could have taken. They both lead into the ‘bedroom’ of the deer. We pretty much stay out of that area but I went about 100 yards on both before backing out.

I'm pretty new to deer hunting, but if I remember right those little fluffy deer don't taste too great.

@swampratt might beg to differ!
