I'm not trying to be a jerk, as I am sure your still stinging from not putting your tag on that super nice buck, but my friend you really need to re-think your shot angles. I highly doubt you even got a lung on that shot. The only reason I bring it up is your statement above about honestly taking the same shot again. We all make mistakes, but we also need to learn from our mistakes, and that shot was a mistake, IMO.
not to mention that sweet bait pile wouldnt take anything away from "hunting hard" for that deer would it ?
