Default RE: Tough Night tonite

Some of you guys that don't have to deal with the temperatures that we have here in the south just don't get it. Several years ago I shot a big doe in the evening, I saw the arrow hit perfect right behind the shoulder. When I got down and looked at the arrow there was gut matter on it. Having had this happen to me before I knew what had happened, the broadhead entered between the ribs and glanced off one and exited low out of the guts. I didn't even attempt the blood trail, just left and went home. I called a friend with a dog and he was having some problems with something else and he talked me into waiting until morning, so I did. I came back the next morning earlyand found her about 200 yards from the shot. I took her home cleaned her and we attempted to use the meat, but it was rancid and we couldn't eat it. In this kind of weather you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.
