I've killed 4 deer with head shots... 2 does and 2 bucks... Haven't lost one yet... The deer I have lost were from shoulder shots... How many of you have shot deer in the shoulder???
Or maybe I should start another post asking how many deer have you lost over the course of your bowhunting???
I've killed over 100 deer with a bow... Prob 95% being does... Out of the bucks I've killedall were spikes,3pts and 4pts... I've only killed 1 8pt on public land that I got mounted and it wasn't that big prob 2.5 year old with a 11" spread... I've been hunting for 30 something years and when a decent buck showed up I took a shot that I felt comfortable with... The shot was close and the deer didn't have a clue I was there and My bow is super quiet...
A few people on hear said that they would do it with a rifle and not one person said a word... You dont think idiots can wound a deer with head shots with a rifle...
I'm sure there are a few people on this forum who are so called "ethical" hunters... And I'm sure that a lot of people that came on hear and roasted me are hipocrits... Roast me for shooting a deer in the head with a bow and call me a slob hunter... I wonder how many of these so called "ethical" hunters have broken some kind of game law or shot over there bag limit
Were not going to hear anytrhing about that are we... I'll bet that out of all the people that roasted me only 1 or 2 have walked the walk
I will hunt the way I want... You hunt the way you want...
As far as the coment about killing big deer on public land in Md... I know there are area's in Md with better deer than I hunt... But like I said I hunt Western Md... Green Ridge State Forest to be exsact... Your not going to come on hear and tell me you've killed any big bucks inside GRSF with a bow... If you did you got lucky!!! How come your aviator deer isn't one of your public land monsters
Dude I've argued with your type before...I only believe about 1% of what you say... You would say anything to discredit what I say...
I'll say it again... Good luck to all you green field,corn field,perminant stand,box blind,"hunters"
You guys wouldn't make a pimple on my !@#...
