I got my first archery shot at a public buck today.
He jumped last second so it ended up I gut shot him and he ran into the marsh. 🙁
Never found him but 8 hours later we are still searching and hanging out in that area now waiting for buzzards to help with the location.

Me too. He wasn't a trophy by any standard but I hate leaving a wounded animal.

Gut shoot could be miles away.

it could of happened the same way with a gun, but applaud your ethics of looking for it so long and hard even though in this heat you have a much smaller window to recover it and it still be edible. at least youre not one of those that wouldn't bother to look and gut shoot another.
