i backed out at 600 yds,thick beech saplings. Still light blood,but i never saw her again. The more i think about it i am pretty sure there was a crack when i hit her.

Got the trail marked and i will go back in the a.m.

Sounds like all muscle/scapula to me if she went 600 yards the next time you see her will likely be from the same stand.

Deer often recover from muscle hits and even broken bones.

That said be listening for coyotes and crows when you get back to last blood if the blood trail got washed out.

It happens good luck and if you lose her you did gain 600 yds of deer escape route knowledge.

Lots of bowseason left best time of year to be hunting.

Just got back for the park. Pretty good day. I bumped one 240 yards from where I was going to sit for and hour in the morning. It blow three times. That was it for that area. Snowed and windy up until noon. Worked my way across and along a beaver pond lots of signs but no deer. I don’t think there chasing just yet up here anyway. They seem to be still looking. Found all the signs at 1800 feet nothing higher very little lower. I’m really starting to believe this 1/3 theory. Will see tomorrow. Sorry for the long post just a little excited. 

Heading out to see if I can call in a gray fox I’ve been seeing on my cams.

No worries moog,i am always open for advice. I was thinking same as phade though,keep her moving and bleeding if i can,otherwise my chances are really slim. I am doubtful i got a lung.
She layed down after wobbling 15 yds from the hit site,but i couldnt get a shot at anything,her back was towards me. Then she jumped up and trotted off.


Just a point of clarity - if you have an arrow in her already. Any chance to put another in her, you should take it. If her back was to you and visible despite not vitals open - shoot. Rules of engagement go out the window with an already hit deer IMO. You want to cause more blood loss.

It may not have been based on what you said but if her back was to you and open, dial up the shot.

Saw a few doe last night. Trying again this morning. Cold 26 degrees and a thick layer of frost. Got in the blind at 6 again so I’m sitting here enjoying the warmth of the little buddy.

I stacked some more hay bales and covered the top of the blind in a layer of hay yesterday around noon. Now it really looks like a big bale. The does that came by last night got within 15 yards and never even glanced over at me.

Can’t hunt this evening, taking the kids out to hustle some candy from the hoytie toytie neighborhoods down the hill. Got to fill up on candy for hunting snacks!

Yep, follow up shots on hit deer never hurt, no matter where they land. What's the worst that'll happen? You wound them more? That's the only time for a hail Mary in archery hunting in my opinion...

Treeguy, Bionic and Biz 

you are rule breakers but nice try guys.   Jeremy and I can attest to true difficulty here.  I had to snap about 1900 photos to find that buck.  Lol. 

 I will clarify contest rules:

Rules for the selfie challenge:

1.   Your face and head of A LIVE deer must be in photo;

2. Doe gets 3pts, small buck 5pts;  big buck 8pts;

3.   Ends at close of ML;

4.  For Biz (who is scared of heights), bonus point for ground selfies that meet above criteria.

Score:   Moog 5, Jeremy 3, rest of forum a big fat 0!

winner gets a night in the big city on Bizs expense account!

 

1. I’m not afraid of heights. I’ve been in treestands before.

 

2. If deer kills from treestands don’t count, why would selfies from Them count?

Haha nice! Yup this is when I fill up my secret stash in the cupboard above the microwave where the kids can’t reach. I grab a few pieces before each hunt, can’t go through cold gun seasons without some sweet sugary calories lol

Because I made up the rules which I reserve the right to change at any time.   Haha


Well I can admit that 2 of my spots are within 40yds of the previous owners treestands, so mine should count. What if I can get a selfie with the deer and the empty treestand in a pic? I got a ladder stand and a hang on w/ sticks

      Broome county / Deposit ny
      By Francesco B
      Hello everyone I’m currently looking at a house in deposit ny I’ve been deer hunting for many year mainly in Columbia and Greene county never been to Broome county. Before anything I was just curious how is the hunting there ? I know there aren’t any antlered restrictions in Broome but are there monsters out there or is it mainly just small spike? If anyone from that county or knows about deposit and broome county would get back to me i would appreciate it. Hope everyone hunting today catch a big one thanks.

      What are the best steps carry a bow on your back?
      By Ainsley Ash
      The procedure below to carry the bow is detailed below:
      You have to use a cotton towel or something similar. You have to wrap it around the bowstring. Doing so ensures that it will not cause an injury with the bowstring coming in contact with your body. It will not be that sharp either. Once you cover the bowstring with the towel, you have to wear it like a sling. So that it will not fall away from your body. The best way to cover the bowstring is to use a large enough towel. You can wrap it around twice as well. When making a sling out of the cotton towel, you have to ensure that you tighten it to get a snug fit. In that case, it will not slip away. Consequently, it will remain in place. When using this technique to carry a bow on your back, it is essential to practice before going in the wilderness. Only when you can move briskly and without noise using the scanning mechanism should you go ahead with it. To remove the bow, you have to hold it at the bottom. After that, you have to slip it over your head as well as arm. Doing so ensures that you can remove it quickly. When trying to focus on a prey, you need to remove the bow quickly. The technique for removal that we have highlighted above can certainly help you do so.

      A Hunter's Obligation to Know the Rules
      By JDN2K
      Just want to relay an experience I had this weekend regarding hunting regulations and other hunters.
      I've had several  hunter's tell me last weekend(10/12/2020) that muzzleloader was open, it is not. I also had two other hunters last weekend confront me as to why my son was carrying around a rifle and hunting deer. I calmly explained the youth weekend and the rules around it. After that everything was cool and we continued our hunt.
      I know at the end of the day we're all trying to participate in a sport we love and maybe harvest some game. My thought is to just make sure you're up on your local hunting regulations. Not just so you are within the rules, but also so you can assert your right to be where you are, hunting the way you're hunting.
      I know when I have been operating outside of the regulations I have appreciated a person respectfully correcting my ignorance and I try to pay it forward by being informed and respectfully educating when required.
      Thanks for listening, off my SB...

      Bolt Action with Pistol Grip
      By Alfredo
      Hello,
      I am in the process of purchasing my first rifle to go hunting deer for the first time.  However, I have received contradicting information regarding the types of rifles that are legal.  Based on what I have read, it appears that I am able to use a bolt-action rifle with a pistol grip and a detachable magazine which holds 10 rounds.  However, I have been told that this is not the case. I can't seem to find where this is stated.  Can any one here provide me with some insight into this? I'd really appreciate it.
      Thanks in Advanced,
      Alfredo
