Deer hunting BS thread

Headed out after coffee to look for a deer I hit late yesterday. Think I hit him in the shoulder blade .Shot through a small opening in the limbs heard a big crack . He spun around took one bound and was out of sight immediately over the hill .Found my arrow minus broad head and 3-4” of shaft about 6 feet from where I hit him . One drop of blood and some brown hair on shaft . This guy here with the weird point coming out of his forehead.

 

Good luck with recovery

 

Thanks . Ever since having multiple eye surgeries it’s become more difficult for me . I think I should clear bigger shooting lanes or something . I’m so aggravated with myself right now .

 

If you found blood yesterday, you will find him today. Many times when hit, deer head for water. Good luck!

 

Good luck finding him!

 

looks well kept. very nice

 

do believe he is thinking when i get up im going to make a rub. LOL

 

Good Luck ! hope you find him.

 

While were still on family guns, my FIL passed two yrs ago.wasnt a big hunter but did hunt. I split all the guns between my two sons but kept his only deer rifle.742 30-06 Carbine.ive never shot it. would like to use it to get something just to honor him one day

 

These old Remingtons are beautiful! For me, just the sight of them brings back such good memories!

 

I have a 742 in .30-06 that my grandad gave me and I shot my first deer with. I’ll have to dig it out if the safe and grab a picture

 

yup, we would like to see it

 

Well followed a very sparse blood trail for about 200 yards on my hands and knees .3.5 hours . Found his bed with a little blood . No blood after that but followed his tracks another hundred yards or so and jumped him . He’s hurt but he will make it . He ran with tucked tail . No more blood . The shoulder blade is tough man !

 

Sucks, what did you shoot him with?

 

sounds like a non fatal wound.they are tough. if the bed was full of blood he probaley would have stiffened up and got sick and not ran like that based on where you said you hit.

 

Well that sucks hope he present him self again

 

Maybe . I’m just glad I was able to find out if he was dead or alive . I don’t like losing deer obviously

 

Right . Not much blood in first bed and zero blood in second bed .

 

My brother in law was a butcher by trade and would cut up over 200 deer per season for about 20 years . You wouldn’t believe the broad heads and bullets and slugs he found healed over in deer .
