Gmmat,

I don't see how anyone could be overly critical from what you described.

The one comment I would make would be to do an autopsy on her. It is such a learning experience to look insidewhen something like this happens,especially when there are so many questions in your head. I wouldn't pass up the chance to see what happened on the inside of her.

I could show you pictures of a buck where the entrance and exit woundsindicated itwas a perfect double lung/heart shot, just behind the shoulder. Reality told meit couldn't have been. When I opened him up, he was liver shot...strange but true. Lastyears buck was still alive fifteen minutes (timed) afterbeing shot through the lungs and heart...strange but true.

Keep your chin up. If a guy hunts long enough, there are going to be some disappointments in recovery. Of course we don't like it and doeverything we can to prevent it, but we don't live and operate in a perfect world.
