[QUOTE="M1A1ABRAMS, post: 3003451, member: 123811"] I shot a doe. And it felt like a dang good shot. Complete pass thru. And there was blood all over the ground. She stood there breathing heavy. And looked as if she should drop at anytime. She did this for a good 10 to 20 minutes. And never did fall or lay down. I thought I would give her another arrow before it got dark. So I climbed down the stand to get another shot. I couldn't get a shot from where I was. And as soon as I drew my bow, she took off across the field. Just moving slow enough so I couldn't get a shot. I climbed thru the fence to where she was standing. It looked like someone got murdered where she was. So I started tracking. It started out well. Blood was easy to find. Then it was a small drop here & there. So I started marking spots with the few arrows I had in the quiver. As I watched her go into the woods on the other side if the field. My buddy came down when he saw me looking with my flashlight. We looked for hours. I came back the next day. And it was raining cats & dogs. I looked for about 6 hours & never did find her. And during rifle season no one said a thing about seeing a dead doe. And we drove these woods about 4 different times. There's a small creek near by. I walked this creek for miles assuming she would head there. Never did find her. Or here of anyone else finding her. I did notice when she got near the woods that night her speed definitely picked up. And she even jumped 3 strands of barbwire. Did her wound clot up enough for her to live ? Is this even possible ?
