First off.. People treat does like pieces of garbage.. and most hunters think does are the ones to take out there "FUN" shots.. and I'm willing to bet you were going after a "cool" headshot.. if so, its your own fault.. and secondly.. what kind of a hunter shoots a deer and LEAVES without knowing where it is or if it is even dead before gettin help.. AND why did you need HELP with a doe.. you dont got enough strength to drag out a little ol' doe by yourself? buck up man.. be a hunter..
first off it was not a head shot i was aiming for her chest.
i had forgotten my flash light (i droped it when i was leaving the house) so i had to run back to the house some 250 yards and grab it. got someone to come with me in case i had a tracking issue.
and what is wrong with getting help?
i always like to have two sets of eyes when i have to track a deer.
i'm still somewhat new to hunting...4th year
In your first post you said she was walking straight at you and now you say you aimed at her chest. I'll assume you mean her brisket was what you refer to as her chest?? If so either your gun is way off or you were!! Either way the shot angle was poor, I think you realize that now and hopefully will take that knowledge tothe future.If you hit the jaw she'll most likely die of starvation or min. infection.
Classic example of why some of usdon't advocate lower percentage shots to the masses.[&:]
