Default RE: Help? Gut shot 8/10 pt tonite

The shot was not good, I wouldnt have taken the shot, the shot was taken, hopefully a leason was learned. Ill admit I learned shot placement from making a mistake. I wounded a deer that I had to track and then put down once I found it. I didnt like the experience one bit. Nothing is worse than walking up on a squirming deer. It still have bad feelings about it. These feelings are always there when I start to draw on every buck, constantly reminding me of the discomfort of wounding a deer. I take only good shots now or let the deer walk. Just this weekend I had some good does come in not far from my stand. I couldnt get a clean shot with out injuring another doe. Needless to say there are still three doe walkin today.

Lets hope this turns out to be a learning experience that can be passed down to others.
