[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 900687, member: 4319"] Well, I guess I'll have to find a new buck to look for this weekend....my dad shot this guy this morning. He was not nearly as thick as I thought he was in the trail cam pic, he appeared to have alot more mass than he actually did. I guess because the picture was so close. But it is definitely the same buck, the damaged G3 tip, the character mark on the main beam. He searched for 2 hours for this buck today. I went up and helped him and we searched for over an hour more, we found hair, but no blood. We started grid searching this thick area with no luck. Several times we thought we could smell the musty smell of a deer. Sure enough we did. We were heading back to start over again when my dad nearly tripped over him, lying dead behind a deadfall not 50 yards from the shot spot. Not a drop of blood was spilled. Deer was shot directly through the heart with a 30-30, heart stopped = no blood trail. Lungs were missed, just the front of the heart. We had walked withing 10 yards of the buck several times without seeing him. Talk about thick brush. We were pretty excited to find him after over 3 hours of searching with NO blood. He's nothing special rack wise, but any 3.5 year old or older buck is a trophy to us with the amount and type (brown it's down, spray and pray guys) of hunting pressure we have on surrounding lands. BTW he was shot roughly 3/4 of a mile from where the pic was taken 9 days ago. [attach=full]70681[/attach] [/QUOTE]
