Obviously you have morals, they might be shitty ones that get real flexible when you see a deer and don’t prevent you from doing something completely unethical, but technically you do have them.

I think the dude made a good shot. A buck like that you best find a way when he shows himself.
The “way” was shooting him when he was walking towards him, not in a full trot halfway in the brush.

This thread is both surprising but not surprising I guess. What the hell were these peoples fathers or mentors teaching them?

Well over 100 deer killed in roughly 35 years of hunting.
Calling BS on this

I have ZERO reason to lie on this issue.
People who know me personally know that I kill multiple deer every year. My whole family does. We hunt multiple tracts of land we lease or have permission to hunt along with public which I’m surrounded by. No we don’t shoot everything we see either. (that’s why multiple tracts to hunt) We hunt every weekend/holiday from Oct 1st to Feb 15th sometimes durning the week if work allows. Family of 4 we have 8 down this year and it’s an off year for us.
I may lie about my height or weight but not about hunting as you can see from what I’ve already said.

You guys are making it sound like I’m not recovering animals. I’m recovering these deer without dogs or drones (which I’ve never used a drone for recovery).
That is crazy. I have shot several, mainly with a bow, and made “good” shots on them and still didn’t find them. Then they would get killed weeks, months or years later and we would look at the old wound and wonder how it didn’t kill them.
Me and a buddy were caping out and cleaning a nice 210# 8 point he killed one evening years back when his knife went “tink” inside the deers rib cage. That deer was a 5 or 6 year old buck. We got to looking at it and realized it was the same deer he had shot 2 years prior 100 yards from where he killed it. We looked for it for 2 days. We finished skinning and gutting it and found his carbon arrow embedded through the deers chest cavity, full pass through, behind the shoulders. The wound was 2 years old, healed up completely, shaft fused in place. How that deer lived is a mystery.
I shot an awesome split G2 buck around the same time, almost straight down quartering away, and never found it. That guys brother killed it two months later chasing a doe. My arrow was still in it, fletchings buried high behind his shoulder blade on one side, the arrow broken off at the exit wound on the far side of his brisket in front of his far shoulder. Another one that should have been dead within 100 yards but recovered.
Glad you have had luck shooting for hair, I have enough trouble shooting them in the vitals. I will say that 4+ year old bucks will soak up and tote a lot more than most does and young bucks.

almost straight down quartering away,
That is actually a really hard shot. Seems like you went just high and right/left enough to miss the lung completely on entrance no chance for the opposite lung on exit.
If arrows don't do a complete pass through and stay stuck, there is always a chance of survival due to tamponading off around the shaft. Just have to hope the broadhead did enough damage.

Shooting a deer with a bow is no where near the same as shooting a deer with a rifle and you know that.
I too have cleaned deer with arrow shafts, buck shot and wounds that have healed

You're lying about recovering every deer you take these wild arse shots at, but I don't think you're lying about the number of deer you've killed.

The end of the day he did what he thought he had to do to kill a giant buck and it worked. He will now get credit for killing the largest whitetail in Walthall county.
I have never taken a pot shot at a deer but I agree with you. That was his only chance at that deer. Nobody is lucky enough to have every deer present the perfect shot every time they hunt.

No one is 100%, I never claimed to be either but I’m also not wounding an enormous amount of deer and not recovering them.
Hunting from the ground gives a person the ability to quickly get in position for a follow up shot if needed.
