Finally connected on a buck. Had a few blown stalks. Everything is so dry around here that without a stiff wind, sneaking into range was all but impossible. I was just still hunting when this buck came to me. Had a heck of a time finding him because he wasn't leaving a lot of blood, and he made a 360* circle, and I didn't want to believe that he went back the way he came, but that's basically what he did. Ran 250 yards to die 60 yards from where I shot him. He was quartering to me more than I realized, so my arrow entry sure looked good, but you can see the exit was quite aways back. Probably only got one lung and liver. Did get full penetration with the rage hypodermic. ![[Linked Image from live.staticflickr.com]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48906591127_0c4ee33e46_c.jpg) IMG_0119 by .com/photos/156405073 N02/]Tim Richard, on [bleep]

I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

A great one to be sure and with that quartering forward shot presentation kind of a valuable lesson for lots of us. That one for sure is a mature buck, but I had the same thing happen on a longer bodied mature doe that I thought was a shorter coupled fawn of the year. One lung and minimal blood for that one that went hundreds of yards before going down.
My other auto is a .45

Very nice TR! Bucket list critter for me.
Pretty much any problems associated with dogs stems from the fact that they're not a Labrador.
