Guys, after being told 5 times (I counted) to "get back out there and finish her off" I think he gets the point.
Anyway, everyone makes mistakes bro. Live and learn.

Well done on thinking quickly to put a second arrow in the deer! She should be dead in the same spot where you last seen her, if not very close by! For the deer to die it is going to have to suffer, no matter how quickly they die, except from a gun! Unfortunately it's part of the killing, I don't think any of us wants to see an animal suffer! Keep us updated and let us know how everything turned out!

you should have put here out of her misery or stayed there till she died it is bad when you wont to shoot a deer but leave so you do not have to watch here die [:@]
besides that you new just like me i missed twice one on a nice 8 or nine point i was sick but happy when i saw the arrow was clean and not a wound
your still learning like most of us so next time put another arrow in herwhy slit her through just get down get close put a arrow in her heart but only move in if she can not get up

Well I just stuck my first doe with a bow at 4:45. However, I feel terrible because I shot it in the spine.
Well it and a fawn were sitting in front of me eating a little corn for a good 20 minutes, but she wouldn't get broadside. Then when she finally walked away, she walked to my left, broadside the whole time. Well she got through my shooting land but i couldn't draw on it. I got lucky because she turned around and stood broadside in the clearing 20 yards away, so I quick drew back, put he pin on the lungs and let 'er rip. She droped right away.
I feel really bad because I shouldn't have taken the shot right away. But I felt good about it, and I know I had the pin where it needed to be. Luckly I got another arrow in it. It was rolling around on its side trying to get away. I waited until it kind of uprighted itself and it went in high and a little back, it came out the middle of the other side. i think i must have got a little lung, liver, or at least diaphram. it sounding like it was gergling blood and i left because I didn't want to watch it die (or suffer).
and now im doubting myself and thinking about i shouldn't have shot and I should have practiced more. I really dont want to have to slit it's throat. i know two people thatno longer deer hunt for this reason.
sorry for posting this but how long do you think i should wait?

Lets not make him hate himself. Dude made a mistake. Bet he doesn't next time. He's probaly young and got excited. I agree he should have finished as soon as possible. But I think he's got that point by now. Lets not make a young or unexpericenced hunter afraid to ask a question.
