well at least you didnt miss completely ,like I did......big fat red in easy clearing not too far from car,I snuck up last 5 yards behind tree to get braced rest,as cocked hammer she looked up and took off,my shot was slow and low....thinking back on it,Id forgotton about my two black buddies,they were probably looking out from either side of tree with tongues panting and tails wagging...so she would have seen them easily.
had decent look around,no blood or fur...marked bullet plough mark in dirt with base of pack,went back and rested in same fork of tree..YIP definately low...
enjoy what venison you can salvage,the last fallow I shot was hit sideways through pelvis (hind in front of stag in mist) and she also wasnt going far.
beautiful pelt on that animal,one of these days I will get one like it for the wall.
