Bobcat, with all due respect, how do you shoot and hit a deer that size and not have it go down in sight? LOL

My first didn't go 10 yards after I hit her for the second time. First was deflected and gutshot her. She walked about 10 yards, and I got a second shot that double lunged her. The 2 I killed last year went 40 yards and 20 yards, respectively.

First bowkill was a boar hog approx. 120 lbs at 17 yrds, he took 3 or 4 steps and fell over. I could literally hear the blood pouring out of him.
I'm with Silent on the first bow buck,.....spined him and he dropped right there.

Through left lung---right through middle of heart---out apex of right lung. Head stopped at opposite hide and no exit wound. Tracking was pretty tough due to some rain and me and my buddies were on all fours for awhile looking for drips. We found him about 90-100 yards away and a bunch of toilet paper flags on limbs later

my first bowkill was a bull elk. He was standing just barely quartering towards me. Shot went through one lung the liver and hit an artery. He went only about 30 yards before falling over and rolling down the hill.
