Well agian, I never take shots like that but in the heat of the moment as you said. I just honestly thought he would continue right to me and walk up to me or wind me, and then not see him the rest of the season. Again, not an excuse for a bad shot though.
BAD shot??? Hope you find him man! Last year I took a shot like this on a doe with my bow. I have always considered this to be an okay/deadly shot to take. I've seen people kill deer like this many times, and have always seen this done on hunting shows! Well, last year like I said I took a shot like this on a doe at 15 yards, first time ever in my 17 years of hunting deer. I put my 20 pin where here neck and body meant. I released, saw where I hit (arrow was sticking out), she jumped 10ft in the air (not that high, butu get the point), before she hit the ground it look like a fountain of blood coming out ofher chest. She ran past me hauling butt, and I heard a loud crash back behind me. I trailed her anyway for practice, and it looked like somebody was throwing cups of blood on the ground. She ran 40-50yards tops, and that was it. I shot maybe a 1" or 2" to left of where I was aiming on her. Not only did I hit her lung (destroyed), but I also nick the heart.
