I'll bite....how did you get perfect arrow flight and penetration on a second deer that you didn't even know was there? I have killed alot of deer with my bow, and have never had an arrow fly threw a deer perfectly that would have killed a second deer if it was standing there. They usually loose alot of steam after zipping threw the rib cage. I'm not calling BS yet........but that sounds kind of remarkable to me. BTW...why oh why come on here and tell the world that you broke the law????

Boy it does seem like Teejay and myself did a lot of talking about this very subject. We even took alot of heat for our views!

Like others I will not comment anymore than this.

But remember Arrows are deadly implements and need treated with the same respect as bullets. We seem to be taking some big chances to fill tags.

Sounds like "last light" wasn't enough light. If you couldn't see the other deer it must have been after legal shooting light.

RE: Do You Think I Would Get in Trouble For This??
 

everyone makes mistakes, and im sure it could've been worse. but to kill and actually go after and recover both seems like the right thing to do. im sure alot of others would see the big blood trail and only follow that, find one deer, and go home with it. just dont let it happen again, as im sure you wont, and i dont think theres a big problem with it. i have to ask did you get a quadruple lung shot?

RE: Do You Think I Would Get in Trouble For This??
 

here is a question were you hunting from a treestand?
if so seems highly unlikly that the deer would line up perfectly so that the arrow would pass through one deer and into the other.

well antler eater, i see you have been on this thread for nearly a half hour now, and no response to any of the questions. man up and answer. you must have expected some of these questions, or been looking forward to them to even have started this ridiculous thread in the first place......

while i do suspect ya were probably hunting a little after shooting light, i dont care. do the right thing, tag the damn deer, and donate the meat to a food bank. paying the processing fee and donating the meat would show you care.

and please dont start a thread with a vague i broke the law story again.....wow

RE: Do You Think I Would Get in Trouble For This??
 

All that I can say is thank god that it was another deer behind the one that you shot and not another hunter. My question is what in the world are you doing shooting at a deer when it's to dark to tell what's on the other side of it.No please don't quit bowhunting, Iwould hate to think about you being in the woods with a gun shooting deer when it's to dark to see.

(IMO) This pretty much hits it on the head!

I could really have fun with this one and tell you how I am not going to eat it, perhaps let it rot, can't identify the sex, blah blah blah...But before I get taken away in handcuffs (or it gets locked up)I suppose I better come clean...;)

First of all, it should be pointed out that anyone who shoots a post rut doe with whatever weapon is more than likely guilty of the same act that I am being shunned for...That in itself should be a big clue to the rest of the story.

My original post is factual, although I can understand most peoples disgust, as with so many things in life, your interpretation of information will determine your reaction. (I might as well have everyone upset with me,it can't be worse than my little lady's disdain. She is just a tiny bitmad at mefor what I have in the refrigerator at the moment).That saidI do think that there is enough evidence in the post to see that it just doesn't quite jive with what most people concluded happened. It is always interesting to me to see the negative interpretation pushed to the front, I wonder what that tells us about ourselves... Perhaps we will see a few posts edited now.

Notice I never said I put an arrow through two deer, I said I killed two deer, which in fact I did.

Although it was almost at the end of legal shooting time, there was plenty of light to make the shot (again it was a thirty yarder not what I would consider real close, unless you live out west ;)). Any hunter worth that title would never shoot at a target or an animal that couldn't be identified as well as what is beyond...

I couldn't see the second deer because it wasn't standing beside Momma...It WAS IN MOMMA!!!

As a result, there was no blood trail to follow to help me find deer number two. That little fetus would have been hard to see in the daylight, in the dark it was very difficult. If one didn't know what to look for and where it would just be another part of the gut pile...

As for the tag issue...I suppose I could attempt to tag the fetus but it would just make a grease spot on the sticky side...;)
