Deer Bow Season 2003

This doe was taken in my friends back yard. I had set in a ground blind until the sun was down behind the trees. I had a young doe walk about 25 yards in front of me but my shot was too high missing just over her back. I walked out to retrieve my arrow and resigned to set in my blind until dark cleaning the dirt out of the broad head. While waiting on darkness this adult doe walked the same path as the young doe just minutes before. Learning from my first mistake I put the arrow right where it needed to go. The arrow hit her and made the sound of a flat fist on a side of beef. She ran straight into the woods crashing limbs as she entered the treeline. I waited until after dark to track her. A friend of mine help with the trailing but we had no luck. It was only until the next day that I found her less than 60 yards from where I had arrowed her, laying beside a small pond. I had to drag her 150 yards to the nearest road and then lift her over a small fence. When I got home this picture was taken.
