She was quartering to me a little more then I thought so the arrow smacked her about the 3rd rib from the back and with the angle it traveled through the offside lung, liver, and punched out the flank and buried the slick trick in the offside back knee. She spun and ran right back under my stand since she was only at 7 yards it didn't take long for her to make the turn and down into the river. Seen her reach the other side and get wobbly but didn't see her lay down. Thought she was walking the bank and was going to be a real pain and wonder on down a ways. After not hearing anything for about 10min. I got down and went over where I last seen her. Sure enough she crossed and just laid there on the bank and bedded down and died.
Was still running pretty fast but at least the water level was down about 2' from last week lol.
All 120lbs of her lmao. I was nice enough to wipe the milk mustache off before taking any pics.
Honestly, I was just taking out some frustration this morning and this doe took all of it and then some. Funny thing is, I sat in my stand for an hour and didn't hear anything so I grabbed the grunt tube and hit it a few times and this doe come bustin in like she owned the place (or was lonely and looking for somebody to tag along with) from right BEHIND me. She only took a few running bounds and was right there beside me. Watched her for about 10min and didn't see or hear any other deer following. By this time she had worked her way past me about 50 yards and so I hit the grunt tube to call her back. Sure enough she come a runnin. Stopped right behind a tree so I stood up and waited for her to get into a shooting lane. Didn't know what one she was going to go to so I had to wait until she started moving to draw. Soon as she hit the opening I bleated and she stopped and I drew. Got the kisser button in the corner of my mouth and squeezed the trigger. Thump followed by a crack and she took off limping with the offside back leg arrow sticking out and din't know why it didn't pass through. Found out when I got to her that the arrow did pass through but smacked the back knee and bounced back. Broke my Slick Trick
Thanks again for Skeeterizing my bow buddy. Still working good

Loving it brother. I just figured she was right under your stand like your buck last year. lol Dead is dead. Glad you got her tagged.
Same thing happened on my first doe. I couldn't figure out how in the world I did NOT get a pass thru on a 5yd shot. Never noticed until field dressing. Not sure how I missed it. Made sense after I found the knee buggered up. Also explained why she did the "bull dozer run". Skeeterized bows, all the cool kids are doing it. I know mine is performing better after the SCO sticker was applied to the limb.
