Default RE: first bowkill how far did you have to track your kill

About 60 yards I guess?.........A spike from the ground. One of my longest shots still to this day, a paced off 35 yards (Smaller steps back then)
I can remember how excited I was walking up to where he was standing, and seeing the arrow just laying in the leaves covered in blood.
I didn't see the arrow hit, but just had that "Feeling", I made myself sit down right there and count backwards from 1000. I think I made it to about 350 and couldn't take it anymore.

It was a perfect slightly quartering away double lung shot, and the trail is still crystal clear in my head as it angled down off the bench I was standing on.
When I found the deer I was so excited I threw my hat into the air and got it stuck in a treebranch. Then I remember sitting quietly with that little buck for what must have been about 10 minutes, just taking in the moment....what a day.
