Default Bad News, Need Advice!

Well it happened, I had a perfect broadside shot at a doe and blew it! I hit a leaf and it deflected enough to throw my shot off and wound up with a gut shot doe. I waited 15 mins to come down to look for my bolt and found stomach fluid and white hair on it! [:@]
I watched her run about 40yrds and stop with her tail twitching and she walked off. I still can't believe I blew this shot! [&o]I gathered up my things and backed out of the woods. I visually marked the spot I last saw her and I'll start looking there in the morning. I'm hoping she bedded down quickly since I didn't push herso she shouldn't be too far away?
I know threads like this aren't popular and I do feel like crap about it but does anyone have anyhints that may help the recovery?Like check near water, ect?
