RE: Tale of woe lost deer, help
On a trip to Nebraska a few years ago I watched a buddy shoot a buck straight across an alfalfa field from me. It was a clean pass through and the deer ran to within 20 yards of me. He stopped and made two "snorts" prior to tipping over. I had never heard of this happening before and would have been skeptical if I had not seen it with my own eyes. The deer was hit in the lungs. I guess my pointis you shouldnever say never. It sounds like you did everything you could to search for the animal and that is what you owed her and yourself. Probably a miss. Best of luck with the rest of your season.
