Why I do not hunt over bait. Watch how far the deer drops. Shows the recovering also. Kid made a good shot!

Im just curious as to what the bait has to do with how far the deer drops?

They are more on alert in some areas over bait

60# bow maybe. No pass through, just kidden.

K maybe so i have never heard that? Guess it all depends on what routine they got all deer seem finnickyto me!

I see what you mean Germ. I'm surprised the kid didn't go home and pack a lunch to hike that 40 yds. Quite the trek.

she almost droped to the ground

Pressure matters also. Look at the timeyou first saw the deer 5:23. Then look at the time on the video when you see the deer eating 5:27. It takes awhile for a deer to come into a setup and get relaxed enough to eat.

then look at the body language of the deer, This deer is not fully relaxed when he shot.

Yeah i noticed that! It is true as i think of it, I am one of the few people that do hunt over bait(go ahead let the bashing begin)! But i actually start baiting around mid july through the season and if a new deer does come into the bait that i have never seen they definantely do not know how to act! I just never really put any thought into it but u do make a good point!

It was a 70#. Next season he's getting a +80# to get a pass through.
