    Just shot a big doe about 20 minutes ago. Lot's of blood... pretty sure I heard her crash but I can't find my arrow. More to come I hope. I am going to go get some supper and go back in a few hours.

    Okay pictures to come. Pretty interesting recovery story... I'll be brief.

    Had lots of blood for 10 yards... I was wondering about the hit since I couldn't find the arrow... usually means heavy bone.

    After 10 yards... the blood went to almost nothing and I heard something walking about 50 yards in front of me. I stopped and went back for more lighting as I was expecting a stand up tracking job.

    I came back with the 4 D cell mag light and was able to follow the sparse blood and sure enough she had crashed after a 60 yard dash. Looks like it was a heart shot but I did go through some shoulder to get there... nearly straight down shot.

    The walking I heard was (okay preachers aren't allowed to cuss... feel free to fill in the blanks for me) a coyote and they helped themselves to one of the hindquarters... mostly gone. Pictures to come.

    Anyway... I was in the stand... first sit this year and a smallish doe came in and hung around for a long time. Legal deer but not interested. I wait and finally the momma, I guess comes in... though she was pretty dry in the udder. I am thinking there may have been a third deer because I thought I shot a much larger doe than this one maybe 90 or so pounds... average around here.

    I definitely will defend the position to wait it out if you aren't sure of the shot and I was almost certain I had a lethal hit but am wishing I had gone straight to this one. I will say this though: Play the averages and you'll lose more to jumping them too soon than you will to coyotes. I waited three hours and even if I had picked up the trail; sooner, I would have backed out when I found the light blood trail.

    So much for being brief... sorry.

    Now I have a nice bachelor group of three bucks walking a ditch across an open field. I hung a stand in a really crooked but only tree and they are rubbing a smaller tree right under it. Would have gone this morning... but was up pretty late, And I have a deer to process. Definitely a morning only stand.
