RE: opinions on shot
At least you gave a good effort to find the deer. That's about all you can do. Sometimes stuff happens. It's really difficult to deal with once you lose a deer. I lost my first this year during archery season and thought I lost another one, luckilyI found him the next day.Let me tell you I was ready to give up bow hunting because of this. Just remember if you lose one feel confident it isn't going for naught, it goes back in the food chain.
