Ok this past Sunday morning,my 30-06 is on the back porch, I have my .223 benched on the front, there has been alot of deer hanging out on my 75 yd corn pile, very cloudy morning, temp had dropped,as I look out to my left my 125yd lane is nothing, just 500+ squirrels, I turn around to look at my short shot, a big ole doe, being my rifle was already set up, I slowly sat down on my barstool chair, moved my sand sock to the back of the stock, bring my elevation down, cross hairs on her heart, about a inch back from the front shoulder, not quite half mass, Aja my German shepherd, she knows what she is going to do, she is at the steps, waiting for the crack of the rifle,I squeeze the trigger, with the deer I have downed with this exact rifle using the same bullet I have never seen what happens next, 62gr Federal Fusion soft point, knocked her down on her side, before I get off the rifle, Aja is already on the way, but the damn deer gets up, tail between her legs and gone, well the tail between the legs, and her low posture, I knew that I hit her, Aja smells the corn pile and off she goes through the woods, I get there, no blood no hair, just a mark in the sand where she fell, and hoof marks, a good 20 or so ft, I'm watching the dog, 25 yds in the way the deer ran? Aja stops, she can't find a scent, nothing, I think she got confused with all the well worn deer trails every where, me and that dog comed every square ft of the woods I mean all of it, there were parts that I have never seen before and I've been there 10 years, somebody give some kind of input on what happened, I would have just thought ok I missed her, no because I knocked her I her feet, never found her,
