"Did either of you even read my first post?" Yes, Chris I did read your first post. That is why I responded to your message.

"was sitting on the firebreak of a field when 5 does came my way. Normally, the Does run before the Bucks." During rut the Bucks will be behind Does to warn him in the event of danger.

"They walked right under my stand and I decided to take the last on in the line. She stopped and I had to make a shot looking right down on her." You should never have taken the shot, but, waited until it was a proper time to pull the trigger.

Well, I hit that deer and she went running off and the others scattered into the field." When they separated leaving one alone, in the wake of your shot, you should realized that you had hit her.

I thought I had missed the first one so I picked out another one and shot her too." At this point you had already reloaded anticipating another shot. You took that shot at running deer.

She went right down so I assumed I had got a clean kill of her. I climbed down and decided to go get a bite to eat while before tracking them. When I went back to get my deer I saw that I had indeed hit the first one in the gut. I went to the second one I shot because I knew it was down. Well as I got to her I saw that she was still breathing and very much alive. I had broke her spine. I have hunted a long time and never seen a deer in that sort of shape. She was trying to move but just couldn't get up. It really made me feel bad. I decided to go back to my truck and get a gun to finish her instead of cutting her throat." I already spoke of this.

Chris, I’m sorry to have hurt your feelings but, you need to rethink your attitude. No one is trying to hurt you. The responses you receive are from your friends; for your benefit and the well-being of the hunting community. We have all been through similar circumstances at one point or another. Be thankful that you have so many comrade in arms wanting to help. John
