I got my first "real" shot at a doe yesterday. I say "real" because I had a shot last year where I panicked and shot a mile behind a doe. This year the shot was at 23 yards broadside, but my arrow hit a branch and rammed itself into the ground underneath the doe. Funny how quickly I went from praying I had hit the deer to praying that I had completely missed the deer when I realized I hadn't hit her fatally! We watched the deer for at least five minutes and the arrow was completely clean of everything except dirt. No hair or blood where she was standing. Hopefully next time will be a clean hit!
