The nightmare that is deer season continues.
Geez, first of a great morning to be in the woods even though the wind was howling. Deer were running, bucks were chasing, just dinks though.
First of all, i am hunting an 111 acre woods in the middle of corn fields that are a mile or farther from water. well anyhow with it still being early and me being greedy, a doe stepped out with her fawn and a scrub on her tail at 25 yards. I took the shot and made a slam dunk of all gut shots. I yanked it bad. But anyhow I hit her right in the guts, She took it and slowly walked off, her fawn bailed.
she headed into a bedding area and 2 minutes later a saw the fawn come back to an area about 40 yards down the trail, it seemed like the doe bed down. I can either go look for her at 3 or wait until the morning, I have a night class tonight.
I was shooting spitfires out of my spitfire. whats your opinion, I have never gut shot a deer and dont know how to handle this, I did get right out of there, I didn't see my arrow around either but it atleast went through to the fletching because it wasnt sticking out. Thanks guys
