RE: Have you ever dropped a deer in it' s tracks?
I had it happen again last season. Not something I ever try for, but I' ve gotten unlucky enough to have done it a few times.
When I shot she tried to duck, but wasn' t fast enough. The shot rolled her, and then she bawled and crawled about 20 yards down the embankment. When I climbed down to finish her off, she didn' t try to get away. She curled up, looked at me with those big brown eyes, and her whole face started quivering. ' Bout tore my guts out to see.
I put the second arrow through her lungs, turned around, and took a walk to clear my head. It wasn' t a pretty experience.
