I like to drink a few beers in the Redneck blind and then just piss off the back porch or out the corner windows.

I’ve done the same thing and I don’t even deer hunt.

My Cousin said he didn’t even leave his yard, stood on his driveway and got this

but isn't the whole point of hunting to go out into the wild in your camo and freeze your balls off while you lay in the grass for an entire day

Check out this nose. Think it was an accident when he was young or genetic defect? @#HBD FIL who is the whitetail whisper thought he was about 4.5y/o.

LHR's nightmare hunting story:

Had a doe bust out about 30 years from me yesterday as we were taking down the ground blind. She saw me right about the time I was raising the rifle and jumped back towards the woods. I took the shot, saw that I hit her and watched her run across the border from the public access land to an adjacent piece of private land. Clearly, I either missed or barely nicked a major organ. I wanted a "DRT" (Dead Right There) shot to ensure the animal didn't suffer.

My son and I found the landowner out in his truck in the field, and he very, very reluctantly agreed to let us search for her (he tagged along). We found her, and when we got close she got up and ran across a patch of tall duck grass and fell ... right at the base of the landowner's blind. Any attempt to retrieve her would have completely blown his hunt, so that was that. His deer, and I'm OK with it.

I may - or may not - go back out again and simply lie in the grass for a few hours in an effort to fill the tag. Felt weird mortally wounding one and not taking it home, but at least I know it didn't go to waste. I'm disappointed that the DRT result wasn't achieved. Bottom line - it was MY shot to take and I didn't kill her cleanly. I laid awake most of the night thinking about that.

It's an unfortunate reality that is part of hunting. I don't agree with the landowner not allowing you to further pursue the recovery, but that's his right. I was in his position last week and allowed the recovery to go wherever it needed. It's the difference between a hunter and sportsman IMO.

Don't beat yourself up. We've all had it happen.

Is it not law that you can legally go wherever you want to recover wounded game in Nebraska?

That's the law over here in Cockeye I know, and thank God it is.

we also dont let poosies hunt with rifles during the rut

It happens. The landowner likely kept it so it didn’t go to waste. If he didn’t then that’s on him, not you. And in the circle of life sometimes that’s the way it’s supposed to go….coyotes, opossums, skunks, coons, mice, birds all get a benefit out of that carcass. Even squirrels getting a little calcium out of those bones.
