As they lay

This picture popped up for "On This Day" in my archive from 2009. Obviously not a great "as they lay" result. Shot near sunset day before, hit liver, tracked to edge of a thicket, got dark, left him overnight. Found him right away next morning. Not having hunted much in farm country I underestimated the coyote problem, lost about half of the meat. My first glimpse of the buck was the leg bone laying on the rack, crap!

At the time he was my best whitetail.

Heard muzzleloader bullet hit and watched him run towards road through my pines
Never found blood, but went to where I last saw him and he was down in middle of path
Son took the pic from backup camera because we literally could back right up to himIMG_4121.jpegIMG_9439.jpeg
