Anyone who has bowhunted for any length of time knows that regardless of how prepared you are, stuff can go wrong!
Whether it be a doe, a small buck, or a monster buck, if you track it long enough to find a poorly hit deer, I`ll give you an "A" for effort.
That said, I would have to agree with....sit down, stay calm...Bowfanatic on this one! If the recovery was not made in time to save the whole animal, IMHO, it is not truly a recovery.

I knew we were gonna agree on something pretty soon!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
