Not to mention I like to get on their trail before they get half a mile away and you cannot hear them crashing. You're not a very good shot are you?  God Bless, David B

Sounds like a troll. OP, you're pretty mature in age to just fall apart emotionally.
"The swamp is really full of bugs.", you said. Well, yeah. So are planted pines and other types of terrain. Are you that inexperienced as a hunter or outdoorsman?
I'm the last one to want to waste an animal (except pigs, yotes, coons & opossums; I chose turkeys over these animals) and really, I don't want any animal to suffer but I wouldn't let such an episode ruin my life and stop me from hunting responsibly.
I still think you threw out a big hook and you're reeling it in.

What I don't get is the "good blood" comment. I've never seen a gut shot deer bleed "good blood". If you do find anything, its usually stomach contents or bile.
That's the part that throws me off.

Many moons ago I shot a doe with my bow. The broadhead (Simmons) cut nearly every rib on her left side in half. She ran a couple hundred yards, at least. I tracked her the last 75 yards by smell. When I found her, her stomach was laying outside her body and had ruptured. She was covered in 1000's of fly eggs. No maggots. She ate just fine.
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

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: [img:left]  [/img] Ain't No way I'd ate that chit
How many people am i willing to sacrifice for freedom?
Everyone. All of them...
Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many!

For the record OP, if you're a true hunter, you couldn't give it up if you tried. 99% of us have lost a deer we've hit. 100% of us are still hunting. It sucks but it's part of it. Dr. B

If you quit, turn in your man card. This thread has too much whining !

Life is too short to only hunt and fish on weekends!

Pulled the backstraps and hams, rest went to the "gut pile". Good eatin!

Our club just lost our 5th good buck of bow season. Lost 5 recovered 0. Pretty frustrating.
