opinion on shot reaction
I am just looking for some opinions -
It is late black powder in S. New York and I took a shot at a doe tonight.
It was a broadside shot at about 50 yds.
The doe took off running after the shot into another field - seemed like full speed w. its tail tucked.
After going back I found a splinter of bone - about 1.5 inches to 2 inches long and about a 1/2 inch wide.
When I started to search...I jumped her - she had bedded down almost immediately upon making into a small patch of woods. She jumped up and crossed a road and I called it off for tonight.
When I found the bone, all I can think of is a leg shot - would she bed down that quickly? At any rate, Ill be back out tomorrow morning to see what I can find.
