Never Give Up!!!
 

Well last week I experince my fisr misfourtune bow hunting. I took a shoot that a may be I should not have. Any way it was a perfectly placed shoot but the doe was able to jump the string pretty bad, quartered away from me and I was unsure about the hit. I trackd the deer for the first 100 yards with no blood trail. Not being able to find the arrow I wanted to make sure that the animal was not injured. Buy the time my mind was at ease I turn to head out of the woods only to find a small blood trail. I could not believe my eyes. Anyway to make a long story short after folowing what was a pretty good blood trail for approx 3hrs next to a highway through someones yard and finally in the middle of a large field, I found her I think that it was a quarter after MIDNIGHT... I felt very bad about my misplaced shot but I would have felt much much worse had I not found her. So, never ever give up even if the shoot was questionable.

Everyone makes a bad shot, sooner or later,no matter how hard we try not to. It's what you do afterwards that seperates the real hunters from the rest. Congrats on a well deserved deer.

Wild! Congrats! I watch the animals reaction to the hit. Helps in derterminig where the hit if any was made. You put the grip on it, that's the main thing.:D

Congrats on finding the doe. Should eat just fine.

Question: Where did the shot hit? How far from the point of impact did it run?
