RE: That may be all she wrote...
Well, i shot a big doe this afternoon about 4:30 with my bow, it was a 25 yard broadside shot and she tried ducking my shot and im pretty sure i hit her high, maybe even above the spine. She ran off tail ducked between her legs. I got down and found my arrow stuck in the snow with blood up and down it, also found hair all over the place. Started tracking and found blood about 15 yards from where i shot her, i followed a blood trail for about 100 yards, through a thicket and up to a fence crossing that goes onto the neighbors land. I could see the blood continuing over onto the other guys land. I stopped there for tonight and im going out with my wife in the morning to try to get permission to look for the deer. Not real confident about the shot but the blood trail wasnt all that bad, i would find blood every 5 -10 yards, some places it would be scattered in a circle about the size of bb's, and other places it would be the size of a 50 cent piece. Found a couple places where it was the size of a dollar bill. My arrow had just a few small pieces of tissue or something on it, not exactly sure what it is. Dont know if this deer will die or not but as long as i got a blood trail i have to keep looking.
