[QUOTE="Bone Collector, post: 4623433, member: 7419"] Never considered quitting, but they made me feel bad for sure and sorry that the animal suffered unduly at my hands. A few years back I am bow hunting and have a doe come in. 20 yds shot and I hit high (high lung). She runs in a circle and falls down almost where I shot her, but behind a big oak. She thrashes a bit and stops. I think ok, good enough. 2-3 minutes pass and she starts thrashing again. I am about to get down and she stops. I watch for another minute and she doesn't move. 2-3 minutes later she starts thrashing again. I get down, but by the time I get there she stops moving and is dead when I arrive. :( Last year I took a rifle that is not my normal rifle during season. I had a doe, come out at 90-100 yds. She is facing me and I know better, but I think I can make the shot. Clean miss. She runs into the woods up what was basically a 80% grade and stops on a bench about 125 yds away. I am rushing now and hit her, but I hit her back (liver/front of guts). She runs about 40 yds and stops behind a tree. She is breathing hard and I can see the steam from her breath. She finally moves forward enough and I try to sneak one in to kill her. At this point I feel bad and just want to end it. I'm anxious because of this. I hit her again, but what looked like more front shoulder was actually more brisket. I blow through it. She hops about 20 yds and I can't shoot her again. I get down and just as I hit the ground I hear a loud thud. I look across and there is a creek ravine and I realize what happened. I walked up the creek and there she was. I don't know if the fall or my second shot did it (probably my shot) but I about blew her front left leg off... some of the worst shooting I have ever done. Wasn't pleased with myself at all.
