[QUOTE="The Oregonian, post: 1517979, member: 51405"] Took this guy the afternoon of opening day. Shot him right before dark at 200 yds and he was with maybe 40 other deer in the field, so when I shot all I saw were tails running everywhere. I got back on the rifle, chambered another round, and got back on the scope. About 20 seconds after I shot I saw antlers slightly moving, then lost them as movement stopped. I thought he was standing up but wasn’t sure. After about 10 minutes I walked to where I thought he was when I’m shot him and found no blood in the snow...I walked the fence line looking for blood, and after coming up empty I looked in the small windbreak with trees and snow. I didn’t see him so we backed out and decided to come back in the morning. It was below freezing that night so any blood trail would be fine but would be tough to pick up as some of the snow started to melt later in the day, and we were worried about coyotes. We went out first thing and looked again for blood but couldn’t find anything but three small drops. We walked the fence line again and could see a blood trail. We look just into the trees and saw him piled up maybe 30 yds from where I shot him...the antlers I saw was probably his head wobbling as he died. He was on a slightly elevated mound so that is probably why i thought he had been standing up.
