My advise to those who have a less then stellar hit on a deer, Head to Rob's advised in what to do after the shot post. I could mean the diffrence between a might have been and a disapointing hunt and meat in the freezer. Thank's for the tips Rob. Your advise has lead to a recovered deer.
Thank you but everyone with their tips throughout the thread is why that thread is brought up every year.
Likewise what's been said above, you took a good shot, made a bad hit..if you can call it that. With woodsmanship, knowledge and good ethics you found your animal. Congrats to you and thanks for the report, perhaps someone else will learn from your thread and so on it could teach us all.
