Wish I had a dollar for everytime someone made a dumb assumption..
I'm sticking to my previous answer, if you didn't find the deer, you honestly don't know "forsure" what really happened.
I've shot literally hundreds of game animials, and i've seen some odd things happen over the years!! But, the same thing goes for me, "If" i didn't open the animial up and see what actually took place, i'm really only giveing my best guess as to what happen!!
Especially when it all took place in the "heat of the moment!!"
