RE: disappointed and confused
Well at least you gave it the "ole college try" to try and recover her .... I know your down about not recovering her but you gain a lot of experience and learned a very valuable lesson ... a lesson that most likely will allow you to recover more deer in the future which in MHO is worth 5 doe's ... I have deer hunted 25 years and learn something just about everytime I go out ..this is YOUR post so I won't tell you what a REALLY stupid thing I did yesterday that most liklycost me a "Local Legend" monster buck ... BUT I hope I learned from it ...Good luck in the future !
