Sorry for all the grief your getting on this one. I don't question the shot, you felt it was within you capabilities and took it. Nuff said! Now as for not trying to track the doe further.... I don't feel you should quit until you have exhausted all of your options. I don't think you can honeslty say is wasn't a killing shot because as Davidmil said sometimes with questionable shots you have to track a long way. If you can get permission, go onto the other land and see if you can find her. Hopefully next time the shot will be right on and the tracking job will only be 30-40 yards. Good luck.
