RE: How many times?
Last year I had a doe broadside at 20. I shot a little far back. One lung and liver. She went about 150 yds. It was a tough bloodtrail but I found her. There was no GOOD reason for me to not make a better shot. I still don't know what I did wrong. I think I pulled the shot by trying to see the impact instead of following through. Rob/PA's "what to do after the shot" thread led to the recovery of that deer.
