Deer can do things that are unbelieveable.My father when he was alive and I think the last time he went deerhunting,shot a doe that was standing broadside with the her left side facing him.He made a bad shot and hit her low. The bullet with though andhit her r/front leg. She went down and took off before he could get another shot in her.There was onlyabout 30 minutes of light so he came back to the house and got meand we went back with a laitern to where he shot her.Luckly there was snow on the ground and she was leaving a good blood trail.We track her til 11;30 at night without her laying down.They say a deer will run down hill when hit,well someone forgot to tell this deer.She was going up hill and down and everyway possible.We went back the next morning,were we stop tracking her.And started all over again following tracks.To make a story short.we finally got caught up her.She had made almost a complete 5 milecircle.I made a shot on her about 200 yds across a field she was going across.All said and done she was about a half mile from where she was shot the first time.
