RE: Mule Kicking Bucks??
 

I had a doe do it this year for the first time, and I've killed about 30 with a bow. I've never had one do it with a gunshot.

Almost every deer I have shot has done a mule kick, especially during rifle season :)

That would be a mule deer then correct?;):D:D:D:D

RE: Mule Kicking Bucks??
 

Ive had a few that have done it. When they do that, i know they arent going far.

RE: Mule Kicking Bucks??
 

All of the deer that I've shot never "mule kicked". They just ran a shortdistance and died.

I've had several bucks I've shot give a good kick and all of those were shot right through the heart.

RE: Mule Kicking Bucks??
 

Liver shots they will " Mule kick" heart shots they jump straight up with all 4s. gut shots they normally just crouch up and ease off. Spine shots....well, they don't jump at all.

Thanks Team Va for the input.

I have never had a deer do it with a gun or bow even when shot in the heart, but I am sure they do it sometimes. Usually they tear out of there on a sprint, or if it is a 'perfect' (to me)shot they trot/walk a little ways and then fall over.

None that I remember with a bow. A few with the gun.
