Default RE: Your first shot at a deer with bow....hit/miss?

This year first season bowhunting. I had a nice doe come in from about 90 yds. after spotting me (i was on the ground). she took her time but made it in to about 15 yards in front of me and turned perfectly broadside. Set my pin on her vitals but...forgot to stop her from her slow forward walk and I had her estimated around 20 yards so the shot hit high and back essentially in the right backstrap. The deer ran off with my arrow sticking out of her side. I waited 45 min. then started tracking. I spent the bettter part of 8 hours tracking her 250-300 yards found the arrow about halfway up a very modest blood trail. Then the trail dried up. Went back the next day still no further sign of the deer. I was devastated at having wounded an animal and not recovering it. I feel like I learned alot from the experince though.

1st shot was in 1984 and Missed a Doe. It was a 25 yard shot right over her back, I was hunting from the ground! I was freaking out with the shakes REAL bad! I look back now and I sure was clueless![8D]
