A good shot doesn't always mean a short recovery

Great job brother!!! Tough ole girl for sure. Shot  
looks as you described it, "perfect". Sometimes crazy things happen in the woods. Very happy you found her.

Smart, tough old doe meets smart tough old bowhunter and his equally tenacious wife. A classic contest and was well told, indeed.

Nice woods- donkey, Bro, congrats

[Tim]

Thanks folks for all the "backslaps"!   A classy group of folks on this site!

Thanks Mike.......I'm still rattled by Fred's passing.

"tenacious wife"   :big laugh:   Mark, you have no idea!!!  Halfway into the drag back to the truck I told her I'd be fine if she wanted to pull the old girl out alone, at that point she was doing 90% of the pulling!!!  She's 95% lady and 5% grizzly bear!

Tim and Cathy, thanks for sharing a great adventure.  Those of us who have been there can truly appreciate the the passion and dedication Tim has and for others lessons to be learned. Difficult decisions to be made in the field that determine the final outcome, good or bad. Thanks for your sharing.

Great story! I can't imagine a deer with those entry exit wounds making it that far! Good learning experience for all of us! Thanks for taking the time to post this story!

Way to stay with it. If this doe were mine, with the tenacity you describe, I'd tan her hide as a keepsake and reminder so she'll live on for many years.
