RE: Getting back on the horse....
Jeff, congrats on a great kill. Its never easy when you hit one and cant find it, but unfortunately, if you hunt long enough its going to happen. Once again, great work on a nice doe.

RE: Getting back on the horse....
I'm gonna tell you guys...(and thanks to each and every one of you for the kind words
)....
I was gun shy as could be on the trail. 120 yds is a LONG ways. If you'd seen the POI and the blood gush out of her at impact.....you'd never thought she could go 20 yds.
I admit to being nervous the whole way.....even after witnessing that.
100% rage wound, Pt (and thanks). There's a little "silver" skin around the heart......and I'd kept it from the entrails to give to my shop owner's dad (he uses the liver and heart for fish bait). When Ipeeled it back.......I saw that slice. The entrance wasn't "normal"....I agree. But at 5 yds.....perfect broadside.....it did the job.
Still.....no complete pass thru.

RE: Getting back on the horse....
That slice in the heart looks to be about an inch .... makes me think the blades did not fully deploy????
Congrats Jeff. Who's holding the heart?
