Wife’s cousin came down for the weekend. Has never shot a whitetail. He made a bad shot on this guy. I knew the shot he made wasn’t fatal and the deer would eventually just bed down and probably succumb to coyotes. So we took off after the 3 legged tracks and blood sign. We ended up having to track roughly 1.5 miles into some dense bush before we caught up to him. Or at lease I thought. I ended up shooting another buck through the trees thinking I was finishing off the cousins. We ended up catching up with the wounded buck as well and finishing it off.
Surprised when I put the tape on mine. Roughly 164”
