In my tree @ 545 am, say my prays of thanks for a blessed life, then settle in, and listen. 100 yds to left by swamp I see movement. Lose sight of them but there are ripples in water. Wait patiently hear movement then there she is a 110# Mama at 20 yds and approaching on my left @ 640am. She is moving slowly up hill getting closer.. 10 yds I aim and hear the thud. She runs off 20 yds and stands behind brush and I am watching and saying how could I miss so close..Sure enough after about 4 minutes she sits and waits.. 15 minutes pass and she expires.This is my 3rd season with the Bow and my 4th deer. It is pretty exciting @ 40 + years old to take up a new sport and totally enjoy the sights and sounds of early fall hunting. What I like the best is the extreme challenge of it all. Learning to use a climber,when to stand and draw, where to locate your stand etc, etc.
When I got to my deer the shot was a little further back than I would have liked, at the exit hole the intestines were sticking out?? My arrow was covered in bile. It seemed that one lung was shot up. Question can a deer die from a liver shot only?? Thanks GOD BLESS
