Adams - I have followed many of your posts. Although I am 39 and you are much younger we are very similar. DO NOT beat your self up on this. If you do you will find yourself making another bad shot. I know this because it happened to me. Way back in '84 when I was 19 I made a bad hit on a doe at first light. I tracked her right away (didn't have Rob's tips back then) and jumped her several times. I looked all day but I never found her. I went out that night to just sit and think about what I had done. Well in came a small 6 point. I shot too soon and hit the front shoulder. Arrow fell out and I never found that deer. All this on opening day. I went home, sold the bow and did not go back to bow hunting until a new friend got me back into it 2 years later.

You found the deer. Be happy and get back out there and hit the boiler room soon. I know you can do it.
