Boy's first bow kill (Graphic)
 
Well after 3 years chasing deer with a bow and a few close calls, my oldest boy finally connected with his bow.

He climbed into the stand Saturday evening about 4:30, not 5 mins after getting in the stand he sees a yearling feeding on acorns about 70 yards off. It took about 30 mins for the deer to close the distance, but finally it feed directly under his stand. He waited until he had a quartering away shot at 15 yards and smoked it and I do mean SMOKED it.

The entry wound photo is GRAPHIC, I have never seen a deer ripped open like this before, just amazing. The shot was perfect, entering just in front of the last rib on the right side and exited in the middle of the front legs, cutting all but one rib on the right side in half and destroying everything in the middle! The wild thing is that this deer still went almost 100 yards after the shot.

We got everything on video, which is pretty awesome. The best part is his pure emotion after the shot. I will post the video after we do some editing.

Doubt it. I'm betting a rage or other new mechanical.

Man them yearlings are tough as nails!

congrats on the kill!

I'm betting a fixed head too. I did something similar with a G5Striker. The angle is what causes wounds like that!

Congrats to the young hunter! That deer reminds me of this yearling I took last year, very similar. The angle has everything to do with "slices" like this. My sharp as a scalpel Muzzy took care of business though.

Way to go! Did she drop in her tracks?

MATHEWS PA BOWHUNTER 10-12-2009 05:59 PM

Congrats young man!!

kickin_buck 10-12-2009 07:09 PM

It was a rage that did the cutting. It was because it a hard quartering away shot, which the boy nailed. I have always preached to both of my son's not to worry about the entry, but aim for the exit. He said he put his pin so the arrow would exit between the front two legs, which it did. That deer still went 100 yards, dragging it's front legs and head the entire way. The video should be ready soon, I will post as it is done.

Thanks for all the kind words, he is still super pumped up!

TFOX 10-12-2009 08:36 PM

Congrats to both of you and get the video posted soon.
