The good news first, I seen my first deer of the season tonight. Nice buck looked like 8 at least maybe more, good body size too. Now for the bad news, either made a bad shot on him or hit some brush that I didn't see between me and him. Either way it was a definate gut shot. Had some white hair and what looked like stomach matter around my arrow. Think I heard him go down but not sure if he crashed or crashed through some brush. Did find some decent red blood about 10 yards from where the arrow was stuck in the ground. Gonna let him lay for the night and pray that I can recover him in the morning. I am excited and dissappointed all at the same time. There is no worse feeling in the world then the feeling you get when you don't make a clean shot and the animal goes through more suffering then it should. I will post the results of tomorrows tracking.
