Deer dies in parking spot

[10point]

My Dad shot a doe Saturday morning in the liver and couldn't find it at first. When he came back to look for it it was laying right where he parks. The only dragging he had to do was to gut it!

That's they way to do it! Closest I've ever come to that was when I shot a dove and it landed in the bed of my truck. We were just getting to our spot and had just loaded my gun when one flew over.

lol. Can't beat that, can you?

My first deer was shot in the heart with a bow. I couldn't find any blood right off, so decided to go get help, & walked out to the road and back to my truck, parked in a field. Laying probably sixty yards from the truck was the deer, which had charged about 100 yards and collapsed in the open!

Cool!!!!!!

Every year I threaten to start lassoing them from my stand and walk them back to camp.

Are there any other hunters in the area?? We once dragged a doe out and left it at a guy's van because we didn't want him in our woods walking all over the place. We knew the guy couldn't track deer. So we drug it to the road and left it by his truck.
The shortest drag I ever had was the biggest buck I've ever shot. Real nice 10 pt I shot with my bow second weekend of the season. I shot him only an hour in to my hunt. I was hunting with my brother so I waited for another two hours to let him hunt. In the mean time some rabbit hunters were letting their dog run and they pushed my buck out of the spot he had bedded down. I thought I heard him get up and I was not happy. Well we moved the truck and got back to my stand and started tracking him. He went about 80 yards the first time. After he had got up he went another 150 right over to the road. He was pilled up about 10 yards off the road behind a spoil. rigth beside the truck. We had walked right by him when we went back into the woods... It was a good thing to cause he dressed out at 207#.

It's private. It was his deer.

That sure makes things a lot easier.

i wish someone would drag my deer to my truck.................. my shortest drag is 150 yds i need to park closer or move my stand

That is convenient that is for sure...... I had a small yearling doe I killed last year that ran and died about 20 yards from the truck..... I tell you watching her I thought she was gonna just jump int he bed.

The buck I got last year died about 5 yards from the lane that goes straight to the back of the property... he died right beside the turn around spot.... that was not a far drag either....

one of the advantages of hunting the front of the property.... but this year I am hunting the back (corn is in back there) so all my drags are going to be long hauls.

drag?? what is drag?? we haul our deer on our ATV's.....we hunt river bottoms so whenever we get one it has to reach the top of at least a very steep 40 yard incline...not fun.

LOL singleshooter I don't have a 4 wheeler..... heck I don't even have a 4 wheel drive... so if it rains too much I will not even be able to drive down the lane and will have to drag about 1/2 - 1/3 of a mile to get to the truck. I am thinking of making a deer cart this year though.... just have to get unlazy and get to it.
