I've been deer hunting 20 years, shot 34 deer, and had 2 get away. The first one was when I was 16 and it was the largest deer I shot to date, I shot low and his his brisket. The second was about 10 years ago and was much of the same, a brisket shot. Since then I haven't had a deer travel more than 50 yards after the shot. The feeling of injurying is one bad feeling.
