Title: Doe down
Post by: seth30 on September 01, 2016, 12:27:51 PM
Got a doe that looked a little bigger in the low light than later after the kill :'(  Hit her in the front shoulder and she took off smacking into a tree.  The back end of the arrow was right next to where I hit her.  Almost no blood on the ground, just a small drop here and there.  It was very frustrating to find each drop due to the rain.  After about 10 minutes I find the rest of the arrow and a great blood trail to follow.  I assume the arrow was stopping blood from falling out :dunno:  Followed the trail for a hundred yards and found her bedded down.  Had to put another one in her to speed it up.  Now she is hanging in my garage  :tup:

Forgot to mention, as I was texting Lokidog of my success a coyote pops out in front of me.  If I had not been texting, would have finally gotten a coyote with a bow :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Are you blind?  Look in the second picture, center right.  Small brown thing, about the size of a quarter.  It is really camouflaged---it almost looks like a dried leaf.  That's her.   :roll eyes:

Congratulations to the hunter.  You can start enjoying new venison from tonight.   :tup:
