Today was the day , Woke up early and head'd to the woods . Deer started moving early , right before shooting light and were still movin around 9 am . It was really foggy this morning , slowly burned off as the sun rose and air temps followed . I have to admit I made a couple bad shots today . 2 to be exact . I shot at a doe around 7:15 , as I was waiting to give her time to expire , I pulled the trigger on a second doe around 8:15 . I stayed in the blind till around 9 am and then went to investigate . From where I have my blind , I am on a hillside looking east down the hill to a creek bed and up a ridgeline on the other side . I can watch deer move on the whole hillside to the east of me but only have several good shooting windows . As it was , I shot at both doe's in the same area (within around 15 feet) as each other . I found no blood , no hair , did a half circle search in the direction the headed (one went northwest , the other east) to no found sign at all . I felt bad and went to the rifle range to check my scope , that didnt help . Im shootin 2 1/2 " groups @ 100 yards (with 1 out of 3 in the bullseye) . Not sure what happened but I never like leaving wounded game , so off to the woods I went again . Searched the area again , checked my shooting lane , broadened my search area , nothin . Hopefully they were both clean misses . I will be out again in the morning trying to get some groceries . Hopefully better luck .
