No luck. [unsure]
Found the blood trail....followed it into the thick stuff... found a spot where it looked like he took a break for a few minutes... not a huge blood pool but looked promising...... kept following it the trail ...twisting turning through the thick brush....... we followed for about 150-200 yards from the point where I shot. The blood trail kept getting weaker and weaker and then we finally lost it when he hit some grassy open field.
It was a hit but must not have gotten anything to vital. I was up on a ridge shooting down so I'm thinking I probably did hit him in the shoulder but with the angle it might have just went through the leg missing the chest.
Anyway... he's hurt and won't be going very far I'm sure. Hopefully grandpa or my brother in law will get him with the muzzleloader as I'm offically done for the year.
