I tracked her for about an hour, and she never stopped. If I had to guess, I think I lodged it in her left rear quarter. I hit a lot of bony mass in the buck, so it probably lost most of its Kinetic Energy before impact.
It would've been worse had I not hit the buck's shoulderblades.
The doe was standing about 8-10 ft. behind - I didn't even see her, b/c I was focused on hitting the buck.
Quicksilver, great story, something to be proud of.
So you looked for the doe for a whole hour, you must have been exhausted. I'm confused though, you said it would have been worse, can you explain how leaving a wounded deer in the woods (that you didn't mean to hit in the first place) could have been worse?
I usually don't play the "high and mighty" card but you telling that story just drives me nuts.
