Default RE: Recovery, What to do After the Shot.

Thank you for the info. You did not mention,because it is not a vital to some extent, the neck. Years ago I shot a doe and the arrow hit a small stick that I did not see ,projecting it right threwthe animalsneck close to her shoulder. A clean pass threw,it actually knocked her down. When she got up i could immediately see blood. She walked off like she was drunk, blood pouring out of her neck. My first Thought was she won't go far. I gave her 2 hours witch now after more years of experience I have learned that I should have just left and came back the next morning. I tracked her 200 yards to a creek and that is where I lost her. I went back the next day and walked the creek bank both sides never did find that deer and that is a feeling of sickness and self repugnance.
