That is a sad ending but as bad as you might feel, its refreshing for me to know how mucheffort you made to trackthatdeer. I wish more hunters would make that kind of effort to track down a wounded animal.

I had a haunting story very similarabout 15 years ago. I can only imagine how you feel. I looked the best part of a day and again the next day before giving up. It stills putsknots in the stomach when I think of it. I only hope I get a second chance.
