Henderson county buck

This guy shot this deer at 60 yards. Hit it in the ham and couldn't find it til the next day.



It's an incredible deer and supposedly public land as well.

Wow!....great buck!.....glad he found him!

 

[DRSJ35]

I don't see any pudding. And that's usually where the truth hides for some reason. Lol

 

[double browtine]

That is odd that he still had velvet on his horns. But it's a giant! Definitely a mature buck, but not mature shot placement!

He might make pope and young

Equally as aggravating as the likelihood it wasn't killed the way he says it was the scoring systems won't give the deer half the credit it deserves because of how small the left G2 is.. throwing major deductions on his typical frane

 

[tree_ghost]

That's is a freaking hammer!!!! Strange about the velvet though...

Great buck, kudos to him for hunting wild deer, and being persistent with recovering efforts. Shot selection leaves room for discussion, but he may be a hardcore archer who practices that distance regularly. Best news is he recovered him.

Ham = femoral artery = most lethal shot on a deer if placement is right. I'm not implying he meant to shoot the buck there, or that you should try it, just stating the facts. Years ago when I first tried lighted nocks, they changed my POI so bad that I shot at a doe quartering and hit her in her left ham with mechanical broadhead, she took two steps and fell over dead. I knew my shot was terrible and could not believe my eyes. I thought she had a heart attack. Upon dressing her, it all made sense. Moral of my story; check POI if you change anything on your arrow, even if the pro shop tells you otherwise. Furthermore check POI if you change anything with bow/gun setup.

what a beast

First and only deer I shot with this crossbow was eight point that somehow I got him in the ham . Believe the limb hit my tree stand cause the bow was still on but that buck run only about 75 yards s feel dead in a branch .

Last year, wife shot her first bow buck. Shot was a little back and just above the lungs, no vitals hit, but the rage went through vertically and sliced the dorsal aorta completely in half.

Zero blood trail, but deer fell in sight.

Glad he found it, heck of a deer

 

[FLTENNHUNTER1]

Great buck!

Shot a deer last year with my bow. I GoPro'ed it and reviewed the recording and saw where at the last second pulled my bow just slightly to the right. It doesn't take much movement in a bow to make drastic changes at 30-40 yards. The arrow BARELY nicked his lower neck. Almost the shortest tracking job in my deer hunting career. Blood trail looked like someone turned on a garden hose. Severed the jugular.

 

[BlasterPits]

Mega monster

 

[DIRTTRAX]

For as big as that deer is they sure have been quiet about it. It's a impressive deer for sure. I seen a trail cam pic of it in full velvet.

 

[huntintn]

I believe it was killed bow season, I seen this earlier in the year.

 

[Deer Assassin]

cool

 

[PJones]

Hmmmm

 

[cbrock84]

Yeah he was killed during bow season. Wife knows the guy that killed him

 

[Emmet]

Definitely was not killed on public land. I have seen multiple trail cam pictures of it. All at night, all on private land that he didn't have permission to hunt. I know when, but how and where ?????

Idk about the permission thing but there are trail cam pics from two different farms next to public land. Supposedly his family owns one of the farms but I don't know him so that may or may not be true.

nice one

You are correct about the trail cam pics from two farms. If we are talking about the same two farms, his family doesn't own either one of them. He doesn't have permission to be on them either. That deer had fairly predictable route he traveled according to the pictures. All the pictures were at night that I have seen. Have you seen a picture of Aaron holding the deer ?

Always questionable when an a huge buck is killed and people keep it under wraps imo

Yeah I saw the pic of him holding it but like I said I don't know the guy. I just thought it was strange to keep that kill quiet. Then I was showed some other very big deer that where still running those farms and told that's why they were being quiet idk though.

There was one day photo I seen. Deer looks young
