Default RE: Proof Wounded Deer Can Live

Oh yeah, that buck has DEFINETLY been shot....It's amazing how resiliant them little buggers can be.

I hesitate to say, but I'm going to. Last weekend I shot a small doe w/ my bow. I hit her EXTREMELY high, and to make a very long story short, I stopped tracking because I was CONVINCED the deer was going to survive. I'm not going to go into all the evidence, but I was 100% certain the deer would be fine.

Fast forward to today. I was hunting the same area this afternoon and saw that doe, alive and well. Other than the obvious wound, she looked to be perfectly fine. And very relieved I was!!! More proof that sometimes we just don't kill them. I'm just glad that the buck in these photos, and the doe I've mentioned, are alive and well. Better that than lying in the woods rotting somewhere.
