The driver apparently told the gang and mentioned how you couldn't stand the smell of rotting flesh coming off of the deer.

I'm not sure if there's a deodorant for that but you can give it a try.

I said the picture was from the net, I searched it to illustrate a point to go with a story that has a basis in reality.

For those of us that live in reality and know crap can go awry this is a good thread.

A friend of the family was hunting with my dad, deer came out at 20 yards from his tree stand. He took the shot and felt great, said he watched the arrow hit and waited the 30min. There was snow on the ground so no issue tracking. My dad followed that deer on and off for a day and a half, the only thing they can surmise is that the arrow went above the lungs and below the spine, just a piercing, in and out. Things do happen, even with a shot that really looks good but is a hair off.

"No man's land" it certainly happens. There will be keyboard jockey backlash for the statement but I have heard many guys speak of it.

I lost a deer to "no man's land". I didn't really believe it was possible until then. My only consolation was my buddy saw the doe two weeks later and aside from scabbing on both of her sides (a bit high of the mark of course), she was in otherwise good shape. Unfortunately he couldn't get a shot at her.

The shot was the best one possible based on the way the deer was standing. If it had been a bit later in the day, the deer would have still been running from us after dark. Until the final shot was made, it was capable of running from us. I know what I would have done if dark had fallen. I just can't fathom letting an animal suffer any longer than it has to, if I can help it.

The big problem was you were pushing the deer. As soon as you start jumping a wounded deer, the chances of finding it are getting pretty slim.

Good pic example. Guessing it's a bow shot since it's Nov 1. Are those from your camera?

we always referred to it a the NO KILL ZONE ( it does exist)
