Sorry guys, I just got the picture to upload... I have been getting a 503 error overtime i try to respond to a PM or post. As far as the first shot, i just shot him a little forward and a touch high, as I learned from the previous pictures. The arrow was not still in him when i killed him but...

Going to keep this short and sweet because I have a lot of work to catch up on due to this guy... Shot Junior the evening of Nov 7th and ended up not recovering him. He disappeared for several weeks and i eventually found where he relocated to. He was obviously injured pretty bad and wasn't...

No, the first picture i got of him showed a big swollen, infected area on his right shoulder. He was not seen on camera for almost 2 weeks and had lost a bunch of weight. I believe the weight loss was from being ill, not the rut. I do not believe he would be fighting with his injury.

Hoosierhunter, i shoot a G5 Striker, which I think is a 1 1/8 fixed blade.

The first pick shows the entry hole. The arrow never exited, it lodged in the top of his scapula. And I am not gun hunting but i plan on finishing what i started and getting the answers!

First picture is entry, second is exit. I shot him on his left side, elevated in a tree. That shows the angle that the arrow traveled.

Horsedoctor, what say you?

20' up and a 20 yard shot...?

I told the story of Junior on a previous thread and explained how i remembered the arrow striking him on the evening of the 7th. I never did recover him and most of you guys said he would show back up, and you were correct. But after seeing the pictures of him, I'm still a little confused! So i...

Great story. It is amazing what these animals can teach us during the "journey".

Hoping to get back on him here in the next week or so. He has definitely taken it as a lesson and completely changed his routine. I have my work cut out for me. Ill keep you guys posted.

Just wanted to give everyone an update. I FINALLY got pictures of the deer that I shot on the 7th... He was back on camera the 19th and the 23rd. As i feared, i hit him high shoulder, 2/3rds the way up. By the look of the wound, i am surprised i didn't spine him. 2" back and i would have double...

You could very well be correct. I am hoping to get pictures of him again and I will keep you guy updated.

Any ideas on what bone the arrow hit? Interested to hear your theory with your experience. My theory is that there are only 2 bones big enough to bring the arrow to a halt. Spine and scapula. I've hit them in the spine before, they don't go far =) But i am shocked that i could hit the far...

Pretty tough flesh to bring an arrow traveling 285 ft per sec to a stop!

Hey guys, Saturday, Nov 7th, I was able to release an arrow on the buck that i have been chasing for the last 2 years. Unfortunately that is the only good part of the story... The deer showed himself at last light and presented a 22 yards broadside / quartering away shot. He might have been 10...

Only you can make the decision, and only "if" the opportunity arises. I can tell you from experience, they don't always make it or grow from year to year... I found the sheds off of a really good one a few years ago and counted down the days until i could put cameras out. Long story short, i...

Congrats! He will put many of grown me to shame with that buck!!!

Beautiful buck!

Congrats!!! With any luck, the shaking knee syndrome will be something he looks forward to forever! I still shake everytime I shoot one.
