RE: What's the wildest thing you seen a shot deer do ?
On a cold December day many years ago in NJ was in a stand that overlooked a trail that split, one trail split off and crossed a brook 70 yards across or so. A big doe swam the brook and stopped on an 10 foot island in the middle and stopped. It was a 60 yard shot with triple OOO and I figured she would cross after the shot where I could go fetch her. Shot and she dropped in her tracks, later found 000 in heart and liver. Anyway I had to strip and swim to the little island and swim her back like a lifeguard. Air dried and frozen, I got her my first.
