First Deer Ever!!!
 
I just started hunting with my father-in-law this year. He has access to some great hunting areas in Eastern Oklahoma. These pics are of a 5 point buck I harvested this past Saturday. He weighed 86 pounds field dressed. I was using a Red Head Kronik bow and Muzzy 100 broadheads. He came down a trail that I have a stand setup along meandering around eating acorns and I shot him broadside right down through the liver at 27 steps. It was incredible and I'm looking forward to many more years of hunting.

Congrats!

You may already know this, but while a liver hit is fatal it is not a desired aiming point unless dictated by the shot angle, such as a quartering away shot. The arrow will often hit the liver before going through the diaphramand into the heart/lung area.

Deer hit only in the liver can be tricky to recover, especially if pushed too soon.

I'm glad it worked out for you.

Very nice! My first deer was a 5 point as well. Granted he was 2 1/2 years old and weighed 165 pounds...

Good luck in the future!

nice buck! Glad you found him, those liver shots can be tricky to track sometimes! Lots of fun ahead of you for years to come now!

i know everyone says the liver shot isnt a great shot, but i have seen it be deadly. I made 2 bad shots on deer with my bow, both were hit in the liver both fell within 30 yds in sight.
i took a doe earlier this year with a slight quartering too, hit both lungs and liver, talk about a blood trail.

oh congrats on your bow kill.
