a Top Gun remake?!?! NO! thinking you can improve on the original is like thinking you can remake the Mona Lisa or the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel...you can't possibly improve upon it.

That director will be writing a check that their actors can't cash.

To the OP, I shot a doe beginning weekend of bow season and hit her high. Found two drops of blood before losing her in the overgrowth. It sucks, but it does happen.

Wow you just took Trumps 'all Mexicans are rapists' to a whole new level!

I wouldn't lose sleep over it. Get back in the woods and mow one down.

Thanks guys - I appreciate the sentiment.

It was his deer. Stuck a doe with a crossbow about a month ago. Hit her kinda back so I decided to give her a couple hours. By the time I found her 4 hours later, the yotes ate part of her shoulder and she was covered in flies and fly larvae. Cleaned her quick, meat still smelled fine, she's been mighty tasty. Here's a pic:

Like everyone else said it happens you shouldn't like it but as long as you did everything you could to recover the deer there is nothing else you can do, except go shoot another one.

I know it makes you sick, but that's part of it. I've lost a few over the years.

If you sell your stuff(guns, climbers, ladder stands, i got first dibbs.

It happens. Don't give up just practice on your shooting if that was even an issue. I've lost several over the years mainly due to being impatient or something between me and my target like a small Branch.

You probably should give it up if it bothers you that much. Just stick to meat from the store. None of it ever suffers before it's put in those plastic packages.

Asking for a friend, if you give up hunting can he turkey hunt your places?

not same doe

Man you say your an experienced hunter so you should know of dozens of similar stories. Most hunters try to make clean shots but its nature, your in the wild and nothing is granted. She made a last second turn and it was a bad shot. Its not like you were careless about it. You needed to be back in a tree about 45 minutes ago.

Not the fence jumping kind. The flying saucer, Fire in the Sky, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Alf , Mork from Ork type.

This is the reason I cannot wait for one to die out after I shoot it. No telling what else will get to them before you do. Not to mention I like to get on their trail before they get half a mile away and you cannot hear them crashing.

Dang it I would probably just quit shooting does not hunting.....shooting a doe like that probably has given you some bad mojo

Before I shower you with "don't quit, it happens to everyone" support....

Lease location and price?
