I went out yesterday with 3 friends. I still have meat in the freezer from last year so I wasn't interested in a doe, but then one came limping in from behind me. Kudos to Scentlok suits, the wind was blowing right from me to her. I take our responsibility to the herd very seriously, so I decided I should take this doe because of her limp. I didn't get a chance to see the cause.

Sadly, I jumped the gun and shot too soon. The arrow hit a limb and then the ground. Had I waited another minute, she would have walked into a complete clearing 20 yards in front of me. I know the trail in front of the stand better now.

No chance for a second shot before she had walked away.
