Well....I wasn't sure either. And every situation may be different. But, my thinking was to not get too close because she might jump & run. I didn't want her wounded in the woods someplace and prolong it. I yelled to her & waved my arms to see if she was resting, or wounded. She had to have been wounded. Her head was bobbling back & forth. She acted like she wanted to get up, but, didn't have the strength.
Her head was the easiest shot. I shot. She still bobbled. So, I got closer & shot her vitals, the best I could while she was laying down. Her head still bobbled. I knew I had hit her twice. Now I was feeling really bad. I waited about 5 minutes. I had a knife, actually Coug Mag had given me this knife, and I went over to her. That's when I really felt bad. She looked up at me and looked so hurt. I went to slit her throat, but, she kicked me. She had awesome strength. I knew I had better end this quickly or she would suffer more. I stuck the knife in her lungs. As she went out, I cried.
After she died, I flipped her over and saw where the vehicle had hit her. It was an old wound. She had suffered a long time.

On a lighter note, I almost saved a baby fawn.....one of our does died a couple of years ago. A farmhand came to me & told me she just dropped dead. I got a knife, cut her womb open immediately & tried to save the fawn. I could've saved it. It was old enough to be born, but, it was still born. In fact, that was the reason the doe died. The toxins had killed her. But, at least it was a hopeful situation. I think I could save a fawn like that next time, if I am faced with that again.

Turkey Fan.....did you get the lure yet?
