hello all,
today I was out hunting on opening day and saw what appeared to be a decent whitetail doe at 150 yards, waited for her to give me a nice quartering shot and took it. she went down fairly quickly and once I found her I was disappointed. she was smaller than I thought so I did not place my shot correctly and ruined a front quarter but then as I flipped her over to gut her out I found that both the front and rear quarters had been severely destroyed by a single glancing shot from another hunter previously this morning. there was almost nothing left of this poor deer and I really felt bad having to tag such a small amount of meat. at least she did not suffer long.

IF YOU SHOOT IT, AT LEAST TRY TO TRACK IT!!

that is all.
