The buck I posted was actually my dads buck. After the shot he only went 20 yards. He watched him bound away about 20 yards then wobble and fall. He killed him in Livonia. Lots of rutting activity. This morning he saw six different bucks on does and last night watched two bruisers lock horns over a doe. Could see dirt flying up when they tried to get traction on each other, all of this was at 2 in the afternoon.

I posted this in another thread, but I figured it can't hurt to add it to the official Bow Hunting harvest thread. Yesterday morning I realized one of the biggest lessons ... preparation pays off. La

Picture. His attention was turned towards another deer...thought it was a doe. Turned out that one was my #1 target...I about cried. Was a solid 160 class typical frame. This guy had nothing on him r

Since I have been laid off for some time I have been going out a lot. I was getting very frustrated not seeing deer while in the stand but having pictures of nice deer while not there. Well that ended today. I had perfect wind today and it brought me this 4 point. I actually shot over him at 12 yards and he didn't even flinch. So I quick got another arrow and punched one threw him at 18 yards. i hit a twig or something because it hit him back in the trendier loin area. His side turned red in a second and he stumbled 10 yards and fell over. I don't know what I hit back there but I'm grateful I didn't have far to go to recover him. I use Rage broadheads. This is my second year bow hunting and my second deer/buck taken with a bow.

The story started last December when I hit this deer high in the shoulder and never recovered him. Disappointed was an understatement. Yesterday morning I was in my perch when around 7:30 am I heard leaves rustling. I look over my shoulder and see this giant buck working his way downwind of me. He passed right through my scent cone and didnt notice a thing. Once he hit my estrous scent pod he locked up on it, stood there smelling for a while, and started to walk off. He got to around 60 yards and bedded down....for an hour! He finally got up after I did a snort wheeze at him and he walked the trail he came in on. I saw a small opening in the branches and when he walked through I hit him with a "mah." He stopped and the shot was true! He ran about 80 yards out of sight and heard him crash. After I recovered the deer i noticed the scar on his shoulder and knew this was the beast that I hit the previous year. We rough scored him around 135. Got it on video with the s4 jacknife! I love this sport!!!

My son shot this doe last night at 29 yd. He shot slightly quartering away. She moved at release. The arrow entered in a real bad area but took out a major artery in the hind leg. Excellent blood trail. He was extremely lucky. She went 90 yd, and down. Weighed 157 lb. gross, 123 lb net.

Guy i knew had a leg shot like that once. Trailed the deer about 90 yards after finishing the morning sit. Blood trail like someone was painting the lines on the road. Get to the end of the trail right next to his neighbors driveway and there is a big pool of blood and no deer. He looks and looks and cant find squat. Finally walks over to his neighbors house and asks him if he has seen anything and is told go look in the bucket of the tractor. Neighbor drove by and saw it laying there came back with the tractor and picked it up.

Congrats

Congrats, I guy I hunt with just got a nice 8 that the arrow hit a branch and stuck in the deers hip. It didn't hit the femoral artery but killed the deer pretty quick. I guess just from all the damage in the hip itself.

The artery does in fact run down the back and fans out into that area and down the leg. Very very fast death.

      By CrossOvertheRiverOutdoors
      Hey Everyone! This is Louis Backlas/ Cross Over the River Outdoors. I just posted a new video to my YouTube channel that I though ya'll might get a kick out of! Have you ever used a decoy to hunt whitetails? If you haven't before you might want to start! I woke up one morning and look out my front window only  to find that my 3D deer target was in pieces all over the front lawn! A fired up buck decided to take his frustrations out on the target!  this took place sometime in November during the peek of the rut. Hope ya'll get a kick out of it!

      Seen this deer?
      By GetEmDrake
      Hey All,
      New to the forum, already missing the deer season and have curiosity to quell. This was a great non-typical I was chasing all season in a bow-only area of Ithaca. Anyone know or hear of a non-typical of this caliber being killed? I'll be out scouting for him aggressively soon enough. Thanks!

      Almost Central NY
      By JBones
      Hello folks. I'm a novice hunter from almost Central NY. I live amongst the cow fields about 20 minutes south of the ADK park. I'm here hoping that I can learn from those who know more than I do. That's probably most of you. LOL. This is my second season and so far I still have all of my tags. I have a rifle but I'm not comfortable shooting it in the area I hunt due to people being near. I'm hoping to fill at least one of my tags before Dec 19.
