We've all had this happen? No we haven't. First of all, you took a risky shot, one which ended in a bad way. I, in no way, would take a 115 yard shot at a deer walking away from me, especially in the head. I'm not saying I've never missed a deer, but taking a shot that marginal at best, is not very responsible. I'm not saying you are a bad hunter, but you did make a bad decision. How in the world can you hit a deer standing 15 feet away from the deer you shot at? That doesn't sound too credible to me, unless he was standing directly behind the deer.
