Hmm just wondering where I said it took TWO shots to down this deer. Shooting at a range and in the woods in an actual hunting situation are two very differant things. Everytime you shoot at an animal many things can go wrong. Last year I had a perfect 30 yard broadside shot, perfect hit through the heart and vitals but the deer still ran 40 yards into thick underbrush. If I feel I have a good shot I will take it, a going away shot at a fast moveing animal no way, but just moveing off yes. I took my shot and did what your suppose to, wait and not push the deer. Thats why it took 2 1/2 hours to recover it. Wounding an animal is every hunters nightmare. This was my longest recovery after a shot and I have never left a wounded animal in the woods to die.
