[QUOTE="JimFromTN, post: 2987985, member: 113268"] I had it happen last year during muzzleloader during the rut. A buck came walking by my stand to my right. I shot and it ran about 30 to 40 yards and started walking and turned left and walked right out in front of me at about 60 yards. I was able to reload in the time it took for him to get in front of me. I shot and rolled him. He was laying there not moving looking pretty dead. I reloaded and I sat there and watched and about 20 minutes later a doe came running by him and his head came up. He then started to struggle to his feet. His backside was to me and he got up on his back legs first and I had a shot of his underbelly. I wouldn't normally take that shot but I had already shot him twice. I just wanted to anchor him. I shot again and rolled him over his head and he rolled behind a tree. I waited about 45 minutes and came down and started to go toward the tree that I thought he was behind. When I got to the tree and looked around it, he blew and ran off. I backed out and came back a few hours later. I looked at the spot where I first shot and there was blood everywhere. I then looked at where I took the 2nd and third shot and again blood everywhere and large amounts of white hair where I hit him with the 3rd shot. I followed the blood trail up a ravine for about 300 yds and the blood stopped. I walked all over that ravine and never found anything. That was one tough deer. I hate losing deer. In 40 years of deer hunting, I have lost 6 deer and I can remember them all like it happened yesterday. I still go through my head and think about what I could have done differently for all of them [/QUOTE]
