Glad she got a deer. Looks like you did learn a few things also. One of those was that a hit deer is NOT a dead deer. That's a major complaint I have with TV hunting shows. Very seldom does the hunter immediately reload and prepare for a followup. It's all "high fives" and back slapping.
When my kids started hunting, I made it a point to always have my rifle on the animal or ready to use in case a backup was needed. This year was Grandson's first deer and even though his shot dropped the doe on the spot(spine shot), I kept my rifle aimed until the flopping stopped.
