I didn't read the other posts, but sounds like the norm really, but you did take a bad shot.
Here is an idea for anyone that is reading. If you take a shot like this, you've decided to do a diservice to everyone. The deer, hunters in general and yourself. But, as if the shot wasn't bad enough, you come here and post it for the entire world to see. To many people, you represent "hunting", you know, since you are a hunter and you do subscribe to this web page. So people (or nonhunters) are going to read your post and associate your actions with all of us. And now you act as if you don't understand why people puff up their chests.

Here is an idea - if you ever take a shot like that again, go find the deer. The internet isn't going to go find it for you. As far as I know there isn't a helpmefindmydeer web site, so why aren't you outside looking? What were you actually doing here? Looking for everyone to say "it's ok, don't worry about it, we wound deer all the time, and leave them to die for nothing" so that you could be lazy and go hunting again tomorrow only to repeat the same thing and then repost! Or were you actually looking for help? If I were looking for help, I think I'd go read an article on how to track game, or better yet, I would try to already know how before I went hunting.
Step away from the PC - now go find the deer. If you wanthelp, as a friend, relative or neighbor to help you look. Or better yet get a dog.

Good luck, learn something from this, don't post crap.
