This is my 4th season hunting with the Albemarle hunting club down in Scotland county. Well today I got my first shot at a nice buck. He was trying to slip out of the hunt way in front of the hounds. Just as he got within 40 plus yrs of me I raised my gun and he saw me and it was game on. I got 2 shots off but i think I just knicked him at least i hope. We only found 2 drops of blood and 3 pieces of white belly hair. He took the dogs maybe 800 yards before they came back. I think he was so far in front of the dogs that the scent was weak by the time the dogs picked it back up after the shot.
