Thanks all! She was my first doe or deer for that matter, with my new DXT. I love this bow!!

I've shot a bunch of deer. I'll say this, if you don't feel that combined moment of remorse/gratitude/sadness/happiness when you kill an animal, it is time to quit. I beleive you did the right thing. Perhaps be a bit more careful in approaching next time, but shooting the second arrow was the right thing.

You might be surprised to know the number of deer that are not recovered because the hunter did not take that second shot at an animal that was "good as dead".

Great doe! good story.

Congrats that's a big ole doe.

great job!!

Great story. I really enjoy reading about other female hunters' hunts...especially when it ends like yours did!
