first archery deer in years and I didn't deserve it

[Duffy]

My uncle scored a nice doe last season, but really it was a terrible shot, along the lines of yours, steven. His arrow somehow wound up way back, and it hit her thigh. The arrow passed through. She took off, he waited an hour, found a good blood trail, and discovered her dead within 100 yards in a ravine, the femural arteries in BOTH legs completely severed. She bled to death fast.
