    Don't feel too bad Mohawk

    Put it down to a learning experience.

    My old man would call a smoko break after a shot sometimes when the deer run and use this time to listen to where the deer went and give them time to settle down.

    Often they wouldn't go too far.

    And no matter how careful we are or how much we practise our marksmanship to ensure quick humane kills eventually you will loose one not matter how hard you look.

    Like I said you'll find him next week when he starts to stink up, probally only meters from your GPS tracks.

    Cheers

    Yep same as my old man, good ol smoke and wait, not that I smoke, I just sit still for 10 minutes debating whether I had actually hit the animal. Best of luck for the roar,

    You know, if you need 100 rounds to kill a deer, maybe hunting isn't your sport.
