WNYBuckHunter Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Some members talked about starting a good deer anatomy thread, and I thought it was a great idea, so I started this one. Hopefully it doesnt turn into an argument and can serve as a good source of info. Lets get started with some pics and models I found.First, here is a pic of an actual deer that someone cut open carefully to reveal the internal organ placement.Next, here are some diagrams showing bone structure, circulatory system, etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doewhacker Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 We need to find one that shows what it looks like from a treestand if possible, I looked and haven't found one yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 I also found these 3D renderings, which I think may have been used in the making of the D&DH shot simulator software. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sampotter Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Thats a nasty looking dead deer. To visualize a treestand shot placement- think about your entry and exit holes. A Shot just under the spine on the entry is going to come out significantly lower for the exit, depending on of course the angle of entry. I thought I remembered seeing a TV personility using some computer program that showed shot placement and angle, but don't remember who or what it was called.

oneidacountyhunter Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 great pics WNY, really like the first one of the real deer. Really puts things into perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sampotter Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I shot a nice buck in 2007 that had a weird hole through his loin between the shoulder blades and scabs on either side of his body. When I scraped the scar tissue off of the cartilage part of the shoulder blade, there was a perfect 3-bladed broadhead hole. The arrow went through the top of the shoulder blade, above the spine, and out the other side. When I shot him on November 9th he was chasing does around and moving fine.

132 eight pointer Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Cool thread. It never hurts to review anything, especially if you are like me and have C.R.S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 WNY, do you find that the app is useful in the field? Is it worth the $5 from Apple? Its part of what I used to figure out what happened after the shot I took on Saturday. Its more of an amusement for me, but would be very useful for those that arent familiar with deer anatomy. Would be a great tool for hunters education classes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How old was he in '07? They're amazing animals when it comes to being able to heal from such a significant wound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sampotter Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 He was 3.5 (aged by cementum annuli) It appeared he had been shot only a few weeks before I got him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landtracdeerhunter Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 My son shot a 126"; Nov.-28- 07. Someone else had shot a slug 1 inch to the left of his spinal cord, about mid way on his back, as the deer was running away. Look like it was healing over. We still have the slug. There amazing healers. Thanks for posting the pictures WNY.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
growalot Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Great thead thanks for taking the time... But....I wish someone could tell me how my broad head passed through the doe I shot through and through mid way up infront of her knee...with out hitting guts and dropping her in 15 yrds???....mind you that's the shot where the knock stayed on the bow string...The pic shows the knock but the exit whole is under my bows shelf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culvercreek hunt club Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Grow---I don't understand from your post where the entry hole was. "midway up in front of her knee" You hit her in the leg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
growalot Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 No when aiming I was midway and behind shoulder...BUT the arrow had other plans when the knock detached....it stayed center body but hit just in front of the rear leg at the knee...as I said the exit wound is under the shelf of my bow....even though I was 16ft up...she was 34yrds out so the arrow stayed pretty flat just pulled way to the left...on the charts that should have hit intestines but her insides were clean and as I said she wobbled at ten yrds and dropped at fifteen yrds from hit.... I was sick when I saw the hit and Happily surprised at how fast she went down....hit an artery ....I never noticed the knock being on the bow string until I took the pics....there was no need to knock another arrow.....but it explained the strange noise I heard on release Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doewhacker Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Thats easy, you hit the Femoral artery that runs down the back and through the hind quarters. It is as quick a killing shot as you can get, did it once due to a walking shot I took(never again). I walked past the dead deer on the way to get the flash light, it was dead with in 20 yards, just over the hill from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 Yep, I put a finishing shot on a deer once that hit the femoral. Dropped her on the spot, which was good, but not what I meant to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
