RE: A missed shot - or a recovery operation?
I think you had a clean miss and you just spooked the heck out of her. She would not cirlce back around and come back to a similar general area if she was shot, especially if it was a complete pass thru gut shot. I would bet you just missedher and she was trying to figure what in the heck just happened, that's why she came back. I would not take off from work early, not unless you are planning on hunting.
