Congrats man, awesome deer and hunt. I too was expecting to see another arrow fly but understand now why I didnt.Congrats again
x2 nobody wants to see it suffer, but you can learn from watching it and also not be blind to what happens when you shoot a deer.Recoil said:Congrats! What a nice deer. Not sure how you managed all of that simultaneous activity. I'm a little envious too. One of the properties I hunt is over two hundred acres in Williamson County down by Spring Hill...I haven't even been able to get a doe this year! Again, great job and a nice buck.
Although slightly difficult to watch the last couple of minutes, I found it interesting and educational to view the dying process that is normally not within viewing range like you captured.

TRIGGER said:I swear a simple congratulations is enough. This guy has killed more big deer than most of us ever will. How long does it take your deer to die? 90% of deer YOU have killed YOU have no clue how long it took for the deer to die. ESPECIALLY with a bow. He has said numerous times that he couldn't get another shot, quit trying to spoil his kill.
I've had two experiences this year where I have had to finish the deer off and watch them take their last breath. 1 a spine shot, the other arrow hit a limb and gut shot him. Found him in the woods trapped in a holler with his leg pinned between two saplings. While I prefer finding them dead (who doesn't?) I will tell you that going thru that first hand was quite emotional for me. You can make the perfect shot and stuff still happens. That's part of hunting.Eric Kilby said:Awesome deer! Congrats on the kill
The 6pt I killed this year I hit high shoulder / spine he dropped in his tracks behind some brush I put another arrow in him but because the angle barely got one lung, I admit I watched him for a good bit and he just wasn't going down so I finally had to climb down and walk up to him to finish him off. Yours died quicker than mine it happens to the best of us even happens with a gun
