Congratulations Allen, heck of a 7pt!!
Before anyone gets excited and says why did he need a dog for that shot, let me explain...
The shot was near last light, it was in some taller grass, and after the shot the arrow was not found. Allen spent a bit looking for the arrow but was unable to come up with it and after looking for about 20 minutes no blood trail. He did find a small brown tinged spot on the ground that was unknown if it was related to the deer or not and backed out.
After discussing the shot, it was ultimately up to him on what to do, but we both agreed since there couldn't be a for certain shot placement to wait till morning to be sure to give the deer plenty of time to expire.
Overnight it rained and washed blood away so it was up to Willow to lead the way. 227 yards later piled up under a autumn olive bush laid the buck. Thanks Allen for the call, and letting us be a part of your hunt this season!
