Have you noticed

I trailed a nice 8 point thru 3 beds before getting smart and leaving it to come back with help later to work it out of a 40 acre pine planting.

It was only in a ways bedded down watching its back track when my partner jumped him. He had trouble getting it to come out in the corner of the 40 I was watching. I got one shot and hit it hard but didn't know for sure where the hit was.

I tracked it for 1/2 mile, through 3 beds. It appeared that it was hit in the front as the blood was always in the end of the bed away from me. When I finally caught up it was laying facing its back track and was hit hard in the knee almost taking off the leg.
