Doe down I think
 

I stuck a doe tonight but I think I hit her a little high in the lungs. I gave her 45 minutes before I started looking for her. I found blood that looked like she had blown it out of her nose and mouth not far from were I shot her. It was seriuosly dark down in the creek so instead of pushing her out of the country I didnt look past the first big pool of blood. I slipped back out and I am going to wait until in the morning to go find her. It is 38 degrees here so the meat will still be good in the morning.

Good luck.

Good luck with finding her

Hope you found her!!

Here is the story. I got into my stand about 3:00 pm yesterday. The wind was blowing pretty hard but I was hoping that it would die down before dark. Sure enough about 45 minutes before dark the wind died down. at 5:15 I had a nice size doe come walking in. This doe had busted me every time I sat in that stand. But this time she didnt know I was there until it was to late. I came to full draw with My Elite Fire and settled my 30 yard pin tight behind her shoulder and squeezed the release. The arrow hit her just a little high as she tried to duck it. I guess she ducked and sucked back at the same time because the Rage blew through her shoulder and she took off. I knew the shot was a little high so I waited 45 minutes before I started to look for her. By the time I started looking it was real dark down in the creek so I found blood did a quick scan of the area marked the spot and slipped out. I went back this morning to find her. I walked to the spot I had marked the first blood and just looked around. 25 yards from were I stood I saw her laying in the creek. I guess The reason I didnt see her last night is because she was in the creek. Anyway I drug her out of the creek and took some pictures. This has been an outstanding season for me so far. It started with an Elk in Colorado then a bobcat here at home then a nice 11 point Llano County buck and now a doe here at home all with a bow.

Awsome job. Sounds like you have been doing very well this year.

Congrats on the doe, Bob

Congrats on the doe...with the way you shoot it is not surprising that you are knocking them down.

Thanks. Tomorrow I am off to Southwest Texas for a week to try and add to my already awesome season. I hope to add another big buck, a javalina, and maybe another doe to my 2008 archery harvest list.

Congrats on a sweet season so far! Good luck the rest of the season!
