Default RE: Wildest thing that happend to you in the woods.

ok here goes. last year my buddy jason picked up a bow for the first time around july and man can he shoot. he took to it like fish to water. anyways i worked with him to help him gain the bowhunting knowledge that i have gained and the dos and donts in the woods for bow hunting. so season comes in and the first day i put him in a spot that i know holds alot of deer on my farm. after the morning hunt he comes up to the truck and he is going nuts talking about all the deer he saw that were out of range so we went back over to the spot around noon and we moved his stand alittle closer and left it alone for a couple days. he begged me to film the next morning hunt cause he knew he had a great chance at getting his first deer. so he talked me into it and the afternoon before our next morning hunt we went to gander mt to shoot our bows and he needed me to fletch some arrows for him so i did and all was good. so the next morning when we woke up i told him to triple check all his gear and load the truck. he did and we headed to the farm. so we are now set up in the tree and im in my climber in a tree next to him and the morning started slow. i have the camera rollin and her comes the deer, the first 2 stay out about 50 yards and then 3 more move in to our right. they are coming in good and they get about 30 yards and i look over and hes at full draw on a nice big doe. then it happens. he lets an arrow fly and whack. right behind the shoulder but the arrow hits the deer and bounces right off like he shot into steel. i was like what the f#@%*. we were both puzzled. the deer jumped and made all kinds of weird shakes and twitches and put its head down and went back to eatin acorns. it didnt move but maybe 3 feet. so hes at draw again and whack the same thing happens only this time we were busted. another doe looked right up at us and blew and shagged out of dodge. we both then started talking to eachother and couldnt believe our eyes. we then got down to retrieve the arrows and when i picked them up i looked at them and fell on the ground laughing hysterically. he never put his mechanical broadheads on. he hit the deer with 2 arrows with no heads lmao. needless to say he learned his lesson that day and we never let him live that one down. it is still the topic of convo here.
