I' m sorry to hear that someone else has the same luck i do. I had the same thing happen a couple of weeks ago. I shot a doe at 8 yards and watched her run 25 yards and lay down.I gave her half an hour and then got down to get her and while walking up on her she run off.After giving her a coule more hours i went back and there was a large area of blood where she had been laying and a good trail for 75 yards or so. I' ve always heard that if you have a good blood trail and it just stops that your deer won' t be far but that wasn' t the case. This would have been my first bow kill.
