She did better than me and my buddies... we all got skunked this year.
The jack-@$$ on the neighboring property has been letting his dogs chase deer for the last month or so... and now the deer never ever ever move around during the day... unless a dog is sniffing them out. They are so hunkered down in the cover that we never see them until we step on them.
So since we are ethical hunters, and don't use dogs, we faced a really challenging hunting situation this year.
She did great... It is very easy to be proud of a girl like that.
With a lung shot with a small high expansion bullet like she was using, I am not surprised you did not see much blood trail... The lung probably filled with blood rapidly, and unless the animal coughed it out, there would be no blood. I have seen the same thing with a polymer-tipped 308 150 grain.... no exit wound, no blood trail, and when we breakdown the carcass, we find about two quarts of blood in the lungs.
