Queue the music" for a loser on the "Price is Right" . Bump bum, ba dahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Could not find any more evidence on which direction he went. No more blood and cant get a definitive track. The last blood was in some heavily used bedding ground so I checked that real good. I kicked up two more bucks that were bedded down. He may have continued into lands I dont have permision to be on. I found this out the hard way. The only option then was to check if the buck back tracked and side hilled it. No dice. I checked several trails and found no blood. Without a blood trail; I'm screwed. Need a helicopter to find anything in that jungle of weeds and grass. I tried to find the buck and feel like sh!t for not finding it. So I am self medicating with multiple doses of 16 ounce High Life.

For me, it is rare to get an opportuinty like that. I usually end up shooting a doe for the meat. In this case the buck was the first available option, so I took it. Sure as a tipped pass for an interception, I f'd it up with a gut shot. Way to show up in the clutch; dickhead.

Yes! Very cool. I owe her big now. She is usualy OK with a small support role of hunting and helps me cut and wrap a deer (thats it). She wont kill it herself but figures she should do her part if she's going to eat it. This time she gave one for the team. She is awsome.

She also dosent like it when I'm out there by myself in deep terrain at 11:30 PM looking for a bad shot. When we first got together; she called the sheriff on my ass becuase it was late and I was looking for deer. She dosent want me all banged up either. She says I'm no good to her then.
