Whitetail: Picking Un-scouted Spots From a Map

How did it go?
We ended up being successful. They killed their deer so I went back out on my own for two other days. I put in 8 miles the first day and saw a 9 point but couldn't get off a shot. Another hunter had shot him across the front of the chest and injured him. He was limping on three legs. I tracked him for two miles before he stopped bleeding. It rained all day the next day. The third day I went to a different spot I picked out and ended up shooting a small buck mainly for the meat. I quartered him and packed him out for a few miles. My pack weighed 150lbs so I had a good bit of meat. I shot him with my .300WM with the 200gr Terminal Ascents. Let me say, those rounds may not shoot well out of my gun but they do some damage.
