Congrats.  Great story.  

Some similar lessons for me this year.  Not always as straight forward as we think.

Bears can attack people- although fewer people have been killed by bears than in all WWI and WWII combined.

Congrats, Mike!

I've been trying very consistently up in Central Illinois, but have gotten nothing but C-O-L-D.  Seeing deer regularly, but they always seem to choose the paths that keep them safely out of range.

Three days left... I'm glad you put it all together with your doe!

Congradulations! You done good....

One thing I have learned regarding any hit critter "If in doubt back out".
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Congrats on an awesome hunt.I dont know how you resisted stalking up on her when she kept getting up and going down but as we see it was the right thing to do.Sounds like a rewarding hunt.

Great job Mike!  I enjoyed the tale.  It's amazing how tough these critters can be at times.
I didn't claw my way to the top of the food chain to eat vegetables!
