Took my first shot at a doe during my 3rd year bow hunting, smoked her good, but could not find her. I am not ashamed to say that I didnt really have any idea how to trail a wounded deer, (thought I did, but when it came right down to it, I was lost. But I have come a long way since then thanks to this place and the great guys and gals that come on here.) I did end up finding her, but it wasnt for a couple of weeks.[:@]
