Ive done it twice; my first deer with a bow dropped from a bad shot, I was young;(about 12) it was a bad shot that I should never have taken. I learned a good lesson and chose my shots carefully after that. The second was a deer that threw her head to look at me at the last second. Her head swung right in front of her shoulder. Neither experience was fun, but both ended quickly; hope I can keep from doing it again.
