Heck of a weekend already, the wrong way.

Get a dog and turn the weekend around finding both your deer.

Carrol county, Heard county, Troup county, Fayette county, all close, call someone else.

Actually a 30/30 iron sites from 1977. I use it when the areas I hunt are thick. To be fair, this is my first miss ever with this gun.

What rounds are you using?

Get a dog for both deer just cause there’s no blood does not mean either deer are not dead .

This. What caliber and load were you shooting?

A 30-30 on a big bodied deer is a good candidate for no exit wound. If it was a soft point, and all the older amo is, it might have broken up as well.

I sent a PM. If you have not found a dog then let me know. There is a 10% chance of rain from 2 am through the afternoon. Any rain at all and your chances a dog can find your deer will be near zero. You can not wait till morning. My daughter and her friend are available and waiting to hear back from me. My daughter's dog is in training so she would not charge. A note on the 30-30. I have lung shot deer before with a 30-30 and had them go 500 yards before bedding down and expiring. I have also shot plenty that looked confused but did not respond like they had been shot. You have one and maybe two bucks down.

That list is not complete. Not sure why we have two lists. Aydan McKenzie is also listed in Coweta County.
