The question I'm asking is if I do shoot another buck then later find my original buck what are my options to keep the original deer or do I forfeit the deer ? Is there another way I can tag it or do I need a tag?

Just wondering what the rule is for tagging a deer? I shot a deer that I haven't located yet(its been 1 week) I have a real good feeling its dead but not able to find him. Wondering if someone finds him during shotgun do I still need a tag if I've already shot a different one? Not sure how...

Yea, I thought if it was legal I would let me bird dog follow a long with me and maybe he would catch wind of him and find him. He works pretty close to me.. I don't want to piss other people off..

I appreciate the encouragement. Just hope to get lucky and find him...

No I let him sit overnight and went back this morning and still couldn't locate him. I feel like I'm losing momentum.

Will do. Its gonna take a lot for me to stop looking for him.

Broad side, Behind shoulder I'm beginning to think it was hi and a bit back.. Stand is 18ft high, Flat ground. Not to far back because I still be believe I hit lung.

Last night I shot the biggest buck I might ever see hunting. I've had this buck on my hit list for some time now, I finally got the a chance at him last night.. I feel like I put a good shot on him but have yet to catch up with him. Blood trail was really good for a long time then it just quits...

crossbow?....

That doesn't look like a beard. Looks like something in the background...

Great post Couldn't agree more! IW (Bowhunters) do show respect to the animal by doing the small things like "Deer are posed well, usually cleaned up, tongues stuck back in the mouth" Doing those things makes a huge difference in perceptions. Great post hope people read and make those things...

Great Iowa buck...Mission accomplished

Took this guy on November 1st. Not the biggest in the woods but happy with him. [/IMG] [/IMG]

I love seeing kids that take up the sport of hunting. We need more. Great work!

dogs I actually know for a fact the dogs have killed two fawns in the spring. One of my famers that I talk to says they dogs are killing fawns he caught them with one this spring and knows of others. I was thinking maybe a rubber tipped arrow might curve their appetite.
