I shot this 133lb doe at 23 yards this weekend. Had a perfect quartering shot and hit right where I was aiming. Arrow passed through and she ran across the property line of my neighbor. Called my neighbor who I am friends with and told him I had stuck a doe and she crossed the line. He offered to come help recover her but I felt I had made a good shot. Waited 2 hours and after tracking her over 400 yds finally recovered her. A double lung shot with a massive hole, one tough animal. First blood found, 20 yards from shot. Recovered over 400 yards from

Dang man. 400 yards is one labor-intensive tracking job. Looks like a perfect shot too. Glad you were able to recover her.

I lost a good 9 point earlier this year after a very close range shot but my arrow glanced off a limb and hits front leg. If I had lost this one I was either going back to muzzies or rage. The slick trick punched a heck of hole and pass through. Just could not believe she went that distance.

Dude, tell me about it; I stuck the SNOT out of a doe, perfect double lung'er, prob 20 yards MAX (more like 15), clean pass-thru, and she ran like a scalded DOG over 100 yards before giving up the ghost... THANKFULLY (and mercifully) she ran right into my pasture & tried to run the length of the field, so I found her easily... Had she hit the brush, it would've been a different story... Here she is: Yours was a big doe, but it always seems like the small deer I hit (100 lbs & less) put up the BEST fights!

I've told it before on here but I shot a doe with a 7mag at about 200 yards in a cut ag field. Blew pieces of lungs and bone out where she was standing. She still ran 200 yards across the field and into the woods where she piled up in a creek

Where did the arrow come out? I'm guessing that is the entrance side of the quartering shot?
Were you elevated or on the ground during the shot?

Not sure if you're asking me or not, Boff. Anyway, she was at 12 yards and I was 20' up a tree. As she went to pass under me, she busted me drawing. She was facing me head on. I know, not an advisable shot. A 100gr. Slick Trick Magnum did that. Actually started slicing before it entered. I didn't get an exit and found the arrow about 50 yards away. She made it 400 yards and Ray Charles could've followed the blood trail.

I found a huge buck i tracked for 3/4 mile lats year with 2 broke legs, guts hanging out, and a collapsed lung. It took us 5 hours to track him and there was literally a river of blood for 2 hundred yards.
Never saw anything like it.
