RE: Long story.....I hit but did not recover a deer.
DB:
In thinking back.....and going back over the situation.....I think one of two things happened:
1) I hit him low.....and it went in behind the shoulder.....hitting shoulder and then passing through the breast area......never hitting vitals.
or
2) It hit the back of the shoulder and was deflected forward, somehow.
I just don't think I hit vitals.....but I'm all ears as to anyone else's opinions. I just don't want to EVER go through a night like that, again. I'm also wondering if he will leave the area? Stay away from that spot? What harm did I do to the area dragging my labs through there (It was raining, hard, all day)? Etc/etc/etc....?
