<blockquote data-quote="Bri-guy" data-source="post: 305006" data-attributes="member: 1444">[ATTACH]45679[/ATTACH]Big thanks to KDM for helping my daughter fill her tag again this year. This nice doe popped up about 6:15 and my daughter shot a little far back, but it still looked good. I could see blood coming out of the entrance hole before the doe disappeared into a shelter belt. Just to be safe we gave it a full hour before looking for the blood trail. Went to the spot where she was shot — nothing. Followed the trail to the shelter belt — nothing. Just before the shelter belt we saw a few drops of dark blood. Uh oh. Went back to KDM’s house and had some tasty dinner. Went back after dark and found a decent trail going through the belt into a bean field. Then we found a relatively fresh bed with wet blood. Got that sinking feeling that this deer was gone. After deliberating, we followed the strong blood trail and found another bed 20 yards further. Than another one 15 yards further. Then we found her!&nbsp; The 100 grain .243 bullet hit a rib and literally shattered so there was no exit hole. Made me proud as hell to have my daughter with and she (mostly) gutted it all by herself. Didn’t get home until midnight and it was well past 2 am before I had it deboned and in the fridge. Thanks again!</blockquote>
