C903 hit it on the head. I hit one the same way and it was the bigges buck I have ever shot at. Boy was I sick to my stomach for a while. We took a dog after him the next day and ended up kicking him out of a cedar swamp and he was doing fine. Weather he made it through winter or not I do not know but he was moving very well and I heard nothing from the locals about anyone getting a deer with about 8 inches of arrow in him and a spitfire. You made a good effort and that gets respect from other hunters. It happens to the best of us.
