Man, I like your attitude brother. Your concern for the deer is very, very admirable! Good tracking job.

That's some story! You made a lot of good decisions and recovered your deer! You got the MOJO working! Go get that big buck!

[VictoryHunter]

You did the honorable thing though and finished the job, good on ya!

[far rider]

Way da hang tough! Glad you guys stuck with it for the recovery.
Your right about the lessons. I seem to learn one every time I go out with my bow. I look at it as honing my field skills.

Way to stick with it!  Congrats on your deer!

All Is well that ends well Tim... steaks on the grill. good job finding her in tough circumstances. gotta love a good hunting buddy huh!

[DeerBacon]

Don't beat yourself up to bad. A lot of people that make less desirable shots don't find the deer or give up. Great job on the recovery!

years ago in college I was the "new" guy on the wrestling team and had no place to hunt or anyone to hunt with.  Fortunately there were a couple of rather rabid bowhunters on the team that took me under their wing so to speak.  Two of which were twins,  ironically.  Well they were impressed I hunted with a stick and that I had killed a few deer with it so I was invited to there camp a few times.  Long story short - the twins had never shot a deer with any type of weapon and their first was a BB that they got in similar fashion with one gut shooting it and the other finishing it off.  This was way before cell phones so it was unknown to either that when we went out to track "their" deer(s) it was their DEER.  It was actually rather cool and to know these guys it just seemed fitting.

Thanks for the comments guys!  

Bobby - funny story about those twins.

Way to stick with it and find her. Unfortunately I was in the same boat with a cow elk that spun on me this year. A couple of miles later I finally put the second arrow in her. I felt a lot better knowing I was able to end her suffering.

Congrats, on the deer, and I am proud of you guys for sticking with it!

Never give up!        

[stagetek]

You didn't give up. That's what's important. Not uncommon for instinctive shooters to have to shoot in one motion. Any interruption will interrupt the concentration process. Don't beat yourself up over it. Enjoy the fine eating instead. And...make sure you share some with your buddy !

Indeed, there is ALWAYS something to learn from our experiences.

Bowhunting is not for the weak.

[Manitoba Stickflinger]

Thanks for the story. Gotta love a solid hunting buddy!!
