Work has been WILD lately, but yesterday I was able to leave early enough to go hunting. I had not been but a couple times prior to doe days, so I was wanting to shoot the first doe I saw to take the edge off.

I get climbed up and screwed my bow hanger into the tree and out walks 2 does and a fawn. I still had no set down, had no face mask on, and had not put my release on yet. So I take my time and get my mask on, release on, then grab my bow and nock an arrow. By now the closest doe is at 35 yards (its almost 5pm). I wait until she is at 31 yards, then draw. I release, and she ducks hard, way harder than I was expecting. I saw my arrow hit her high (like backstrap high). I was hoping that I hit some of the larger veins near the spine.

Wait a little while, get down pick up my arrow (lots of meat, not much blood). I couldn't find any blood, I mean none. But I have a buddy with a great dog, so I go get in the shooting house and watch deer while I wait on him. He gets there about 6:30, his dog immediately opens, he lets him go and the plan is to follow him with the GPS collar.

We ended up finding decent blood while following the dogs path, but about 20 minutes later the GPS collar quits working. So now we are following the dog by sound. Fast forward another hour, we cant hear the dog and are walking aimlessly through the woods in the direction we heard him last. About 8 pm the GPS picks him up again and we find him, he trailed the deer to an irrigation pond.

Either the deer is alive and fine, or it drowned in the pond. Either way I lost it. That's the first deer I have lost with that bow (Bowtech General) to give you an idea of how long its been. It sucks but I knew it was bound to happen.

Hate it for you buts that's bow hunting. I shot one very similar to that Sunday but it must've clipped one of those big arteries you speak of cause she fell within 60yds of the shot. Some of the back strap was even nicked when I cleaned her.
