I think it was the 7th day I had a shot at a Doe, missed but my brother in law came running up stating I hit it. Went down to investigate and the Doe he saw was no where near where I took my shot, I mean the deer was close to 70plus yards away from the clearing where I took my shot.

Didn't see any wounds on the doe, but it was still warm(steam was still rolling off of it), we rolled it over and saw the wound on its back end where it got hit by a car. We talked to law enforcement and they let us have it since it rolled onto our back property. So, we did get one and it was a learning experience cleaning it out, fwiw got 67lbs of meat.
