Oh ok, so it wasa bow kill. Looked and read the story again. Good Job buddy.

I would have shot that buck in a heatbeat and not think twice about it(even if the story was false, whatever). You guys who say you wouldn't shoot it, probably haven't been in that situation.

Your right there. Never seen a deer caught under a small concrete yard ornament.[8D]

holy cow, that is one wild story...awesome buck though!

so what i am hearing here is no one on this site has ever stretched the truth when retelling a deer story? yeah right! fact is you have a young hunter with a monster on the ground, i coud really care less if he used a pea shooter at 500 paces to knock him down! as for inhuntr your tellin us that you are returning from hunting gear in hand and at the ready and the deer like that is standing their, just because it is in the backyard you wouldn't shoot it. lets really lookat who isn't telling the truth. even if the lawn ornimant is a lie i give him credit for being creative! happy hunting to all and may the lawn ornament god's hold em long enough till ya get a shot off!

I wouldn't be taking a 60-70 yard shot with a bow. That is a unethical shot with a bow if you ask me. Would he have even had enough penetration to cleanly kill that deer from that distance if he would have put it in the kill zone.Alos, who knows if that guy was shootingtowards ahouse or car sincethe deerwas in the backyard.

Is this for real what a lucky sob I have never heard of such a thing

what part of southern indiana was this deer killed in?

I would have attacked with any weapon I had available! Garden hose, yes! Truck at 25 mph, yes! The shadow choke, yes!

I see the concrete deer is on a flat base. Looks like the bucktryed to scoop the fake deer and got his rack tangled between the deer and base and struggled for a bit, thus the bare dirt surrounding the fake deer. Now the deer getting his rack stuck in such a spot after being shot seem a bit far-stretched as the only thing that deer would have doneafter being shot is run away, not stuck his head under a lawn ornament! Looks to me like he was stuck and trying to free himself when the 'hunter' found him and proceeded to shoot. Awesome buck in any case.

I would have shot it no questions asked. The only thing that really bothers me about the whole deal is that it took him 4 shots to kill it. I might have left that part out along with the 60 yard shot in the leg.

Hell of a deer at any rate.
