Can maggots even hatch that fast? Some flies lay live maggots that eat immediately.

There were no other hunters around and no one shot anywhere around me. It was my deer, I am completely certain of it.
I've killed dozens of deer and helped recover hundreds in my 48 years and am very experienced. I was just about to go get the neighbors dog to recover her when I finally found her. Could you see a bullet hole?
We will burn that bridge when we get there

Oh yeah. There was a clear entrance and exit hole with the contents of her stomach on the outside of her left side.

Stuff happens man. I shot one last year too far forward and down. I pretty much blew the left front leg off and it was hanging by a thread of meat. Found her and put one between her eyes with the pistol. I felt pretty much the same way you did.

yep, that's just part of it......but IMO that wasn't your deer.

The deer you found was killed several days before you found it. May not have been shot on your property either.

You found a doe that had been dead for several days. No question about it.

Rather by your hands or not, deer die horrible deaths. They don't grow old and die in their sleep on the recliner. Cold weather, starvation or being eaten alive by yotes. Being gut shot was probably a "Good Death" compared to how lots of them die.
If you’re a common sense person, you probably don’t feel you have a home in this world right now. If you’re a Christian, you know you were never meant to.

I'm not so sure...About 1Oyrs ago me and a friend both killed deer on a bow hunt one morning in Marion (Perry Co.). It was one of those cool morning but hot days in early bow season. We took the deer back to camp, hung them,skinned them both washed them off. We went inside for about an hour to grab something to eat and when we went back there were yellow jackets and big black/green flies all over both deer. The flies had already "blown" both deer and there were egg sacks and tiny maggot crawling on both deer. We discarded both of them since they were covered. Wold not have believed it either had I not seen it.
ROLL TIDE !!!

Can maggots even hatch that fast? No, they cannot. Chit happens. Move on and get over it. Practice your shooting. They're animals, not humans. There will be other deer and the one you shot will be consumed by other animals and nature.
