Well I’d like to skip this part of this story but it is part of it . I hung a portable yesterday at 2:00 , wind was right so I sat it last nite .
Two ways the deer should come from , they showed up at the best place but seemed to be going to bypass me by a few yards.
Then a big doe showed up from the other way and was gonna pass behind me, got turned and when she made the last shooting lane I shot. Arrow looked good but when it got below her back line I couldn’t see it . She bolted and ran a big half circle . Arrow wasn’t far and had bright red blood, no gut smell . Just smelled like deer meat. Very little blood, a few drops then specks then nothing.
I hang my head, I’ve shot a lot all year and am probably shooting better than ever.
Got no explanation to what happened at all but don’t think she is hurt much .
Went back with my dog this morn and found nothing else .
Damn it !
