Shot a doe. Hit her, but not well. Found a little bit of muscle/fat but no blood. Girlfriend drove 45 minutes to bring dog to me, and he couldn't find anything either.
This is a disappointing way to end an otherwise great season. I shot 2 bucks and 4 does. I'm thinking this doe will survive, but the thought of her suffering out there right now is a bad feeling. The stand set up was great, I just made a bad shot. Frustrated and disappointed in myself.
The hunt itself was pretty cool. It was nice to be in a new spot, and the deer came out where I thought they would. The first doe that came out would have been an easy shot, but a little spike came out and chased her off. The second doe that came out was antsy from the beginning. She actually ran off twice snorting, but both times I snorted back at her and she came right back! I've always snorted back at deer but never had one come in like that.
Will look for buzzards on Wednesday and start working on winter projects.
