good topic...I just shot my first doe of this bow season last week. I shot her, she ran about 50-60 yards to the field edge and expired there. There was about 7 deer near her in a group when I shot. they all ran about 30-40 yards away scattered then just stopped and started walking around normal and eventually disappeared. But one doe ran with the one I shot. Once I got out of my stand and started tracking I followed the blood and when I found the doe there was another one standing right next to her just blowing. Took her a few minutes actually before she gave up and just took off. The other deer that ran originally just didn't know what was going on just a quick "wack" and that's all they heard. Im glad I didn't blow the spot up or anything. it was good to see the deer just mosy off. But I guess these deer do this as a communication to the fallen ones. interesting stuff
