Here we go again. Damn it!

If he was bedded down, then yeah he's dead. He will run another 300-500 yards, max, and lay again awaiting a pursuit...When it doesn't happen, hopefully he will die right there. I've seen it a bunch of times.

Of course without being there on the ground, this is all internet speculation from forum experts, which is very entertaining. LOL

That's what we are here for.

I get that but it takes time to transfer sounds to the brain and reactions to the muscles. I just aint seen it. Slower bows yes but never with a crossbow. That buck must have been on high alert.

He was. He was already suspicions that something wasn't right when I fired.

In for results! Good luck Bear44!

Damn right! Besides, it is fun to live out the saga with Bear44...I'm noticing this is becoming an annual thing for him, BTW. LOL!!

What kind of angle was the entry? If it’s a steep enough of an angle it could very well be a one lung hit. He’ll die from that. Sounds like he’s hit hard.

He still dead.the braintrust has spoken.

Let me guess...When you jumped him, he was at the end of a ridge, with a couple different escape drop offs on either side?

Nope, he got to the bottom of the hill and just stopped. Almost a straight line down.

I see...I'll bet he didn't run uphill from there. He is probably headed towards water.

Oh, I really hope not. The nerves just can't take it.

Don’t go for a three-peat next year. Your nerves won’t be able to take it.
