When i shot the doe in the leg i moved in to take her out but it was a head shot only.Even on a wounded deer laying down i would not take that shot
I too shot a deer in the back leg once. Hit a piece of fence wire that I couldn't see that was right in front of the deer. The wire made one heck of a noise, like a twang. Weird things do happen.
