Nice Deer and nice tracking job! Good on ya!  

Congrats, Persistance pays off!!

Just want to say, "My hats off and respect to you!" Sorry that there wasn't much left to feast on your reward. Hope those dang yotes appreciated the free meal!

you should be proud! Congratulations!      

Fantastic job.

I will second what Morning Star said.

You did the right thing by backing out.

Big bucks can be just plain tough, and he surely fits the criteria for "big bucks".

Tops!

Congradultions did you ever determine where he was shot that he could go that long and far?

The arrow entered at about the second rib forward on right side, angling down and forward to the opposite shoulder.  No exit wound.  Liver and paunch were gone.  Looked like top of the left lobe of the lung had been cut.  Autopsy was tough since the coyotes had removed most of the organs including the heart.

you are traid.you have done it ... great job          :cool:

Nice job on a great buck, congratulations.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you win and lose at the same time, but you did the right thing, and because of your persistence, your first will always be a beautiful story. The Coyotes are hunters too.
Congrats

Nice job start to finish!    

Absolutely, check out the Poke and Hope shoot. They even make we "foreigners" feel Welcome!!

Good job on the deer, those coyotes are pretty good at their job.

Way to stick with it.It all makes for a good "1st trad kill" story and that's a very nice buck,too.

congrats !  Made a great picture !!

Way to stay with it.  I enjoy reading stories of tough tracking, good decisions, persistance, and success.
