[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 881195, member: 39801"] This morning I was presented with a 110yd shot on a medium sized doe. Trigger break felt good, and the deer bucked at the shot. Then something weird happened. There were four deer together, and they all took off to the east (highly motivated). Two stopped abruptly and peeled back west (toward me) and the other two held-up, slowed the pace but continued east. When the two peeled back, I lost which one I had hit. Soon they were all out of sight. Hard to explain how this went, but it was almost like they intentionally gave me the 3-card monte. I started to feel a little doubt creep in on what originally felt like a gimme shot. I waited about 30 and went to check the scene. I immediately found blood in the tall grass where I had shot. The blood was high, and there was a fair amount of it. Moving east I found some more blood, but it was sporadic. Because the first blood looked good, I decided to walk out 100yds east to see if she was piled up before I resorted to a full-on track. I found her just into a bean field about 110yds from where I hit her. I took a picture where she lay, with a caliber-size hole on the entry-side (just behind shoulder) and a bunch of blood underneath.... [/QUOTE]
