Gonna be a rough night tonight! Just shot a good whitetail and assumed he was done within 80 yards. Found out he wasn't when I jumped him up about 100 yards from where I shot him. I had given him 2 hours before going after him and I thought the shot looked good. He was laying on a bank bobbing his head and simply got up and wobbly walked off. Backed out for the night and I'll go get him in the morning. Pics will follow tommorrow when I find him (opptomism)!!!!!

Good luck to you. I have been through that before and it usually doesn't allow for much sleep. Hopefully you will find him not far from where you last seen him.

Good luck Steakhunter! We went through that with the buck my friend shot this year. I hope it all ends well.
