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.

If you hunt long enough, you will lose one eventually. Don't worry about it.

You found somebody else' deer. No way a deer got maggots in 3 h. Either way, she will feed lots of animals and keep the food chain going. It is a crappy feeling though.

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.

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.

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.

chit happens dude, get over it. Nobody likes it when it happens but it happens. Don't beat yourself up, let it be a lesson and move on. Don't quit doing something you love to do. If we didn't hunt and reduce populations, deer would die a lot worse death than that. Get back to it as soon as you can
