Central PA Sportsman, rockport didn't say he made a bad shot. He actually felt he made a good shot. He is only concerned because he trailed it to a live deer. And he is more than likely correct in his assumption that it is a youngling laying beside it's mother. I've seen that happen quite a few times actually rockport. You gave it some time. If it was even a decent shot then either that was her laying and expiring or it was a youngling laying beside her. I'd say with our coyote problem we have around here I'd be getting back to that spot and finding out one way or the other.
