Man you haven't been bowhunting long enough if this hasn't happened, the day that you don't think it will happen it does.

Just happened to me the other day too. Hit her way too far back, but fortunately I clipped an artery and went 50 yards and piled up.

Two things, Balckhawk.
You recovered this deer, she did not go to waste.
Second you learned to make sure that your next deer should be clear of any other animals before you take a shot.

Yep glad I was able to get her before the coyotes,i did learn a lesson good luck out there guys.
