Done Early

Well, after a couple of days of hunting a place with a good buck in the area, I saw this doe and couldn't bear to watch her suffer with what appeared to be a bad leg. I feel good about helping her out as well as not giving the coyotes a free meal. The buck, I guess can wait until next year. Anybody loose a broadhead?

Sorry to hear that. Sucks for you and the antelope. You did the right thing. Just a test and you passed. Good karma for future hunts.

That is cool you did what you did. That broadhead had to hurt and it would have never healed up.

I believe in kharma also. Good luck on the buck!

You did a good deed. I believe you will be repaid with a huge archery lope next year. Is the doe decent to eat or did infection ruin it?

Way to be a true sportsman. I hope you are rewarded by the hunting God for your act of mercifulness. Takes a real unselfish man to do the right thing, and you did.

Thanks for the words. I think the eating will be fine. She was a bit thin and dehydrated but otherwise healthy. That's the good part of the situation...the fact that I can put such a sorry animal to good use. Weird really, such a small wound, but so deadly. The whole ankle felt like it was full of gravel.

I'd like to know who let that shot fly...they need some more summer practice. Great decision on your part!

True Sportsman. I have to think a major percentage of the members on this site would have done the same thing. Thank you for being a good example for all of us.
