RE: What the heck happened? I am really confused!
Did this deer stand on his back legs...... put his front hoves in his ears and stick his tounge at you? Sometimes deer act drunk to avoid being chased by other deer. Sometimes deer act like comedians and heckle hunters from the safety of the bush.. calling out names like "your mother can make a better shot".........
fortunately these deer all live on long island

RE: What the heck happened? I am really confused!
Well i am happy to here that the deer is doing fine.
But the shot was still a bad choice to make, First off the shot angle was a low % shot not that it wouldn`t kill him? But the chance`sof you making a perfect hit dead on are low.
(imo) you should have waited a little longer for the deer to turn broadside or just quatering away Like others havesead.
2nd If your not sure of the shot you have made and the deer is still standing send another arrow on its way Never hurts to be sure!
We all have to learn and the guys here are just trying help you for the next time this happens and if you keep hunting? it will.
Good luck next time.

Yes, there will be individuals who will discard this basic information and who feel the are above such information. But to me, the basics should not be ignored by anyone including myself. The more experience I gain, the respect I have for the authors.

He was slightly quartering and I knew that I had to shoot before it got to dark or he busted me.

You know what you can all go take your comments and do you know what with them. I tried to make peace of this post agreed that the shot was not a great choice but you miserable people continue to poke and prod. Now claiming that I was shooting past legal hunting hours.I do not know if you guys were picked on and beat up when you were little but where I am from a little respect goes a long way. i have done nothing to anybody here yet many of you puff up your chests and make comments to try and prove to one another who is best. I have led a very successful life so you have all given me advice to "make me a better hunter" so take this advice to be a better person. stop being so bitter and self righteous, you will catch more flies with honey then you will with vinegar.
Anybody reading this post that agrees with me should really say something.I am sick of seeing all these newer members being belittled and mocked by these so called veterans. Read this post from the very beginning and you will see that some people just can't leave well enough alone, even when i say thanks it is a lesson learned they still keep going and going.
You may be great hunters but you need to learn a lesson in being better, kinder people.
Once again. Thanks.

Sylvan< I was amused that he would admit it on the WWW. I did a similar thing a few years ago, hadn't read a change in the rules that well and came on here and got called on it.
