Opening evening doe

[jh45gun]

 I shot this one opening evening with my Excaliber Crossbow . I had to leave it over night as I got a bad hit. I had always heard of those quartering away shots never tried one and she had here back to me. She started to turn I felt it was enough so I let fly. Hit her back too far so let her go over night. I guess she was still two straight. I will let the next one turn more of a angle to me. Oh well live and learn I usually aways take broadside shots and get them this was the first time I attempted a quartering shot. It was not an issue recovering the deer she only went about a 100 yards the big thing was to leave her alone so she would lay down close. Only bummer was something got to her over night and chewed alway part of the hindquarter. Just one the other was intact as was the rest of the deer. My friend thought it may have been a Bobcat. What ever it was it chewed half the hindquarter off in a straight line. I think if ya put a ruler across it would have showed straight. Never seen anything like that before. He thougth a wolf or coyote would have ate more and made more of a mess than what this was. Does that sound like a cat to any of you guys. Fisher maybe if not a cat?
