ok guys right at dusk this evening i had a doe step in at about 30 yds and i wanted meat badly so i got my gun up and got it right on her sholder squezzed the trigger bam she kicked up and tuckerd her tail and took off running and i couldnt tell but i thought i heard her crash so i went to the spot she was standing in and couldnt find ne blood or nething so i got in the truck went and got dad and some light and still cant find ne blood or nuthing there was a slight drizzle but not much and Im not to terrabley sure if i hit her or not........ my gun was on last week i was hittin cans at 50 yds so it should still be on......... im going to go back in the morning to see if i can find her.......... i wish i woulda just shot her in the neck or the head and that way if i hit her she woulda droped but if i didnt she woulda just ran off........ but i had the crossheirs right behind the shoulder

If the tail was down i suspect you hit her. Hed to the area you heard her crash and check throughly.

I agree with fisherguy, from the way she reacted it sounded like a good hit. Check in the morning!

Did you read my earlier post about the Doe I shot Saturday. I went to the spot where I hit her at 50 yards and found no fur or blood, I headed to the spot I thought I heard her go down and had to walk a little further, she went further than I thought she did and she didn't run as straight as I thought she did either, took a wide circle to get to the spot I found her. She's probably laying out there somewhere, when you do find her trace the blood trail, if it's still there, I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't take the long way around.

Sounds like a good hit to me. If she kicked up it may well have been a heart shot and, if so, she should be within 50 to 100 yards. You just have to go find her.

Have to agree with what is said above. Sounds like if she kicked up she is hit good. Should not be far. Would definitely check where you thought you heard her crash.

She's hit and sounds like she's hit good too. You should recover her today.

well fellas i went out this morning and serched for over an hour before school found not blood not hair nuthing that led me to belive that i hit her....... but when i got home i shot my gun and it was low and to the left....... i resighted it in and im hit pop bottles finally.........so i guess i got so close to her she flenched and ran off......



and also while i was looking for her i found 2 good rubs about on a 3 inch trees rubed balded and im guessing that buck and another doe hit a scrape last night his track is of great size as well as those rubs im thinking a lil doe pee and some bleats i might be able to get him in close maybe close enuff i can hit it.......
