First deer was a doe from about 75 yards. It was an easy broadside shot from a rest. She raised her tail and flinched a bit at the shot, then rather nonchalantly bounded into the brush. I waited for a half hour then went to the spot--no blood, no tuft of hair, or anything. I was seriously thinking I'd missed, the the tail and flinch seemed to be a reaction to a bullet. I decided to head in the direction she'd bounded and found her 25 yds away in a little ditch where she'd laid down.
