Very weird and annoying evening sit. It was dead till right before sunset, the same 4 pt decided to stroll by. Not sure why but my head went to, kill him ur off the rest of the week spend it with your wife and son. So I took the shot, completely misjudged. Thought he was at 25 he was at 35. Clean miss he didn’t even run off. Took two steps licked his ass walked right towards me and then eventually moved off. I climbed down went to look for bolt, couldn’t find it. Hot enough of a look at him I was 100% sure no hit. Walk back to tree to get x bow and head home. Doe gets chased right to me. He sees me and bolts other direction, her and big bodied deer take off together.

I get home and check the x bow at 20 it’s way off low and to the right. Honestly don’t sure why I even took that shot but I’m just going back to the compound for the rest of the week

When I refer to shooting a deer above or below the spine I guess I’m referring to the spinal cord, the vertebrae hits are non fatal. 

Hit one of those vertebrae without severing the chord and you'll knock a deer down but after a few minutes they will get up and walk it off, I've had that happen. Get a second arrow in the immediately! It's the right thing to do regardless. I call it a spinal concussion

That costs money. I tried to buy some and it took two months to get my money back

This is abso ****ingloutley correct.....Happens with the gun also, but with the gun you are in a better position to get another good shot in before the deer gets up and runs away, never to be seen again....Don't ask me how I know this, but it comes from experience, and not just my own...

Well yesterday saw nine deer! Hunted pretty much dark to dark, in two places. 8 of the deer were doe's and fawns. One was a small buck that got a pass until next year. Thing is, the doe's were just casually feeding along, with not one buck harassing them? The two year old buck was all by himself feeding on acorns! 

Anyways.....back at em again today. As today is Nov 10th!!!! What I call the "Magic Day"! Not sure how much magic I'll see out there today? But I'm going to try to pull a rabbit out of my hat, so to speak.

Best of luck to all heading out today!

55 degrees to start this day off. I’ll keep plugging away.

I’m in since 530. Foggy and 53 but a nice sunrise nonetheless. Weird being in my stand and not at work on a Tuesday but happy to be here. GL to everyone trying to get it done today.

I have never seen a deer hit directly in the spine with bow or gun( bone covering spinal cord, not the " fins" as some call them) get up and run away. You can break the spine, not necessarily sever the spinal cord, but they ain't getting up.  Yes a hit could be marginal, and paralyze a deer temporarily.  

Unfortunately, I've hit my fair share of deer in the spine with the bow, only shooting 42#, so it's not like I'm shooting high poundage.  None have ever gotten up.

4L - already back in. Felt off, like I was doing more damage being in the woods. I think the temps are getting to me. I’ll take care of some home-life stuff, and then set up a plan for this afternoon.

Strangely quiet here so far. I’m back in the stand I saw the beast of a buck this past Saturday but no movement yet. Hoping that changes soon lol.

I’ll let you know by noon.in search of a nice doe 

[Kmartinson]

I'm hoping the trick is a weather change. Tomorrow is rain hopefully they like it better then these beach town vacation temperatures.  Unfortunately alot of the breeding is happening at night right now. I cant stay away but I feel less likely to see movement then a normal 2nd week of November

Supposed to be working on a house my uncle is flipping but he called and said i wasnt needed today...so obviously im in a tree now. Bumped a small buck bedded by my stand, hoping a hot doe is in the area, they were running one sunday morning over here.

fair. and i'd say "sometimes" they're not fatal. All us deer hunters know that nothing is absolute.

not too knowledgeable on crossbows, but i always assumed they were pretty flat shooting sub 40. would your aim point be significantly different at that yardage? 

PS glad you're bringing the compound back out

So i took a few shots at the target at home I was way low and right to begin with. Not sure what happened but I honestly prefer the compound any way
