Ive killed several wounded deer. One had obviously tangled with a truck and was missing a large piece of hide on his rump, it had to be the ugliest deer in the woods.
Another deer (a doe) i hit badly due to some wierd flying ninja barrel roll after the bow string was released. 5 hours of tracking, over 5 miles of country, until a landowner refused me access to finish it off.
To this day i am reminded of that shot, by my email address, and i switched from recurve to crossbow for the added follow through. The arrow did not punch cleanly through the skull, and would not have been fatal for some time, likely due to infection. Fate, not lack of skill guided that arrow.
