i also believe in the no mans land area , two years ago i shot a doe at about 10 yards and due to the terrain she was almost level with me at the time , she went across the ravine and stood by a pine tree , about 25 yards away from me but due to the trees in the way i could not get another arrow into her , i was looking at the blood spot on her side getting bigger , she layed down for about 1/2 hour , got up and trotted away , i took up the trail about 2 hours later trailed for 3 hours till she got with enough other deer to wipe out any blood trail
