First buck this year

[brian]

My 18 year old son shot this buck Sunday but we didn`t find it until Monday. Still a nice bow kill. When he shot the deer, he said the arrow was sticking out, and found no blood where he shot it. I found him the next day in a very steep ditch. He shot at a deer about an hour earlier, I`m glad he missed.

Nice job. What state?

 

[brian]

Missouri. The weather is still to hot for this time of year. The deer was stinking pretty bad when I found it. I found it in a very deep ditch in a holler. Guess he was heading towards water

What exactly is a holler?

Good looking buck, too bad it sounds like you lost the meat.

A "holler" to me is a steep or hilly patch of woods. Guess thats a mid-Mo. term!!! lol Maybe the word is supposed to be hollow???? We like to put the "R" on everything.... Yes, I lost the meat. The temp only got down to about 55 that night. He shot it at 8 that morning & it was at least 70 degrees that day. Also, "holler" could mean what I did when I saw found the buck!!!!!

Shame you lost the meat, but good to see you went through with it and recovered and tagged the buck.
