Deer hunting BS thread

Here's a little something I was just reading about the 'dead zone' on a deer if anyone is interested.

Browning makes very good cameras for the money. I have 9 and my buddy has about 20 and we’ve had very few issues with them. Go to the website Trailcampro. These guys do extensive testing and give unbiased reviews on many brands of cameras.

 

That’s awesome!!

 

Finally finished up the co-worker’s mount of his stag whitetail. Pretty happy with how it turned out. The oak plaque didn’t take the clear coat evenly but he was happy with it. He’s going to put a brass tag and the rifle shell underneath, hence all the space left on the plague. Maybe now I can get to mounting my buck that I shot 2 months ago haha

 

how did you preserve the velvet?

 

My good man you are Correct,ive got a book from years ago on sign of a hit and if you bow hit under the spine you get the aortic artery and they bleed out quickly.i still love learning new stuff !

 

Used this tanner that I got from vanDykes

 

The guy that did mine recently injected it with formaldehyde.

 

My velvet 10 point last year was treated with formaldehyde.

 

Very cool

 

Lot of hunters believe that . According to the video I posted and numerous other info I have researched the lungs always fill that space under the spine it is the rib cage that expands and contracts ( inhale-exhale) so the lungs are always filling the space up to the bottom of the spine . You can obviously get an arrow under the spine But you will get some lung with it . No void

 

That's good Parenting, Picture says it all. Great job Young Man.

 

Just look at the smile on his face....that's great!!

 

That’s surprising as many as we see around here just a couple counties to the west of you lol. Usually along the rivers

 

Morning hunts are so peaceful

 

*sigh* Little shocked this myth still continues in 2019. Lungs completely expand to fill the chest cavity. The spine dips down further than many realize and what many bowhunters think is the void, is actually a hit above the spine and completely missing the chest cavity. This was a deer that a gentleman at Magnus broadheads had frozen, cross sectioned to dispel the "void" myth. The arrows show that lungs completely fill the chest cavity and also that the spine dips pretty far down, rest above the lungs. Steep downward angled shots give the appearance of a high chest, hit, bleed like hell for 100 yards or so. Reality is it's a high hit above the lings AND spine resulting in a muscle hit. I believe Dr. Randy Ulmer, veterinarian and bowhunter also offers insight into the "void" myth.

 

Congrats!! Love the smile, says it all!

 

No deer but we had a possum and a coon foot in the traps and she pulled the trigger on the possum (she didn't have much of a prop and we were a little close so the scope was probably more in the way than anything... At any rate I sent 158 gr sjhp thru the brain at ~1300 fps to finish it off) she was excited to shoot at least
