That is the view that the camera had. If I was shooting from where the camera was, I'm pretty sure I could have leaned one way or the other, up or down and taken that limb out of the equation.

I'd have taken the shot!! I hope you get another crack at 'em!!

Yea germ, I bet you are right, which prompted me to make my other thread.

I think you probably educated that deer.

So somewhere in between 16 pages of ethical debate, I must have missed it...did you find the deer, or will he get to put on another 10-20" over the winter?

Frankie?

Why in the hell would you bring this post up again?

RE: Made a bad shot on a good buck tonight (with video)
 

Good question.

Answer:

Because its a logical and fair question to ask.

I couldn't agree more, but I'd follow up no matter what. You owe it to the deer. There was obviously a flesh wound there but check it out for yourself.

Mike,
I didn't read all the posts here, but to me it looks like you got hair.
What was on the arrow?
That's a great video, if u slow it down u may be able to tell.
Good Luck ....Nice Deer

I'm not quite sure of the out come, We all see where the arrow started. Only with enough experience do you realize the dramatic force and mysteries associated with the aftershot. A friend of mine shot a deer similar to the placement on yours...the arrow went through but the fletchings stayed in the spine...The deer after running flat out for about 300yards went to break the arrow off. By doing so he pushed the knock into his lungs breaking the arrow off on the near side dropping him almost instantly. the arrow path in the deer looked almost like the letter z if you were facing him.......that deer was meant for the table, yours might have had a different outcome..Good luck

But it doesn't matter anymore! The deer was either found by now or not, done deal! Some peoples kids!
