spcfoor Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 I shot at a doe this morning. She mule kicked and walked off and just stood there. I shot again and she ran off with her tail down. Never heard her crash and walked up to where she was standing and there was just a little bit of hair and that was it. I walked all around and found no blood or any other sign that she was hit. Hopefully the woods will quite down and I will be back Saturday morning.

spcfoor Posted December 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Good news and a bunch of bad news. First I didnt miss, second it was found today about fifty yards from where I stopped looking, should have went farther, looked longer, and not doubt my shot. More bad news it was the smallest spike. Feel so bad cant stop thinking about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rad_112176 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Keep your head up spcfoor. It has happened to all of us at one time or another in our hunting careers. I got in a bit of a hurry myself on one of my deer this year and took what was probably one of the nicest 2 1/2 year old 10pts that i had seen. Just seen his horns and got excited. Never looked at body type and size to be sure i was shooting a mature deer. Any deer with a bow we should be proud of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 It happens. Anytime you get a mule kick, you got a hit on a deer from my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearClaw Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 In my opinion, any deer taken is a trophy to be proud of. Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spcfoor Posted December 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Thanks for the kind replies. This is the first deer I did not find. It really sucks. Hope I can get one on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
