I went out Sun. after noon. At about 5:00 I arrow a big doe. It was an easy 20 yard broadside shot. The shot was perfect. The doe jumps, walks 5 steps and lays down in front of me. I watch and think I’m about to go get her when all of the sudden she picks her head up and just sets there. I can see blood everywhere and think, it won’t be long. I set and watched her for an hour. I couldn’t put another arrow in her because of the brush between us. Eventually a group of hogs come down the trail she was on. She jumps up and plays standoff with the hogs. Eventually the hogs just back track and leave. The doe then starts to walk away. I watch and take note where she went. Once she is out of sight, I move out of the area. As she walked away, I could see she was still bleeding, and I could see the entrance and exit wound which confirmed it was a perfect hit. Since she walked off with no problem, I decide to go get her the next morning. First thing Monday morning, I go to retrieve her. I find her laying just where I thought she would be. When I get about 10 yards from her, she jumps up and bolts. I watch in disbelief as she sprints away like a champ. I take note where she went, so after work I might find her. After work, I go back out and find her about 500 yards away from where she was when I jumped her. I gut her and check out my shot to confirm the damage, and it was a perfect shot. Both lungs were taken out and the arrow had passed right through the center of the heart. I’m still in awe. No problem with the broad head, it was a new muzzy three blade. It sliced right through her and caused lots of damage. Out of 25+ year of hunting, I’ve never seen this before. It is unreal. I’m glad I recovered her, but am still amazed at how long she lived after having major damage to her vitals. Has anyone else seen this before. I felt like calling Ripley’s believe it or not.

I hear he doesn't believe much in Q.D.M., something about infringing on his turf. [:o]
