mowin Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 As not to muddy up a old post, why do you think the person who hit that buck in the jaw is a hack hunter? What proof do you have? This could have been a very respectful and responsible hunter that just had a little bit of bad luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy K Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 A little bit of bad luck is hitting high or low maybe a single lung or liver . Not hitting it in the face . The only excuse you're gonna come up with is hitting a branch ,fair enough , they shot too far for the element they were hunting in then. I don't take hail marry shots and I don't have as many kills as other people ,I also have never shot a deer in the face. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeGuy Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Guess I missed the jaw slayed post. Bad shots happen, but I can guarantee a guy like JeremyK has put in more time than most practicing with the bow, and when you put that much time in you can easily become disapointed in others who don't, especially when they end up shooting a deer in the face.

No. Calling someone's post douchey before knowing all the facts is sort of douchey don't ya think? Edited October 31, 2019 by mowin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither have I but a buddy of mine actually hit a deer in the face with the bow few yrs back. Great guy. Ethical hunter. Deer was broadside, but looking at him. Hit a twig and seen the arrow hit the face. We tracked that buck for a mile. A yr later during rife, he shot that buck. Had a broken off arrow a broadhead embedded next to the jaw. So it does happen. I just don't think painting someone as a hack hunter because they hit a jaw is accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowmanMike Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 A lot can go wrong even if one is trying to take the best shot possible and practiced a lot. Hitting a deer in the face always looks bad,but the only person that really knows what went wrong is the hunter. Just as everyone needs to decide what a good shot opportunity is,in that moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now i see why you're so sensitive about it . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
