Took a shot

maybe we should secure our arm chairs and give her a break.

Good luck with that on this site.

[Bugaboo25]

Lokidog,

I bet I have killed more deer than you, so maybe you should re-read my post and take the time to comprehend others posts before responding.

If you double lung a deer at 65 yards, with an SST in any caliber gun, then there is no reason the deer should have went over 30 yards. I'm not saying that he might have not went further, but it's likely that he didn't go that far from were she shot him. I think that the young lady, presumably your daughter due to your defensive nature, will find the buck in the morning. Her original post was pretty vague and as more information has came out, I think that she made a good ethical kill shot.

Me personally, I would have went and got him tonight and not worried about bumping him if I was confident in my shot. Post some pictures after you guys find him in the morning!

Umm...I helped track a deer that my brother-in-law shot directly in the brain. That thing went 1/2 a mile, and yes, it was directly in the brain! We almost had no blood to track it at all.......luckily there was snow

I guess I have to apologize for calling you a young man!  Sorry!  Everything else I said is a fact!!

[BOWHUNTER45]

I personally never left an animal in the woods over night  If you could not find any sign of blood then I may understand but I think I would be looking as we speak !

That is very plausible, but a deer isn't going a half mile after being double lunged....even if you do bump him.  May I have been lucky, but I have never had to track any of my animals over 100 yards.  I have helped several others track animals over 100 yards, but all were less than stellar shots. 

Again, I think she will find the deer early in the morning and not far from where she took the shot based on the information that was posted in the later posts.

Sorry for the mistake. I know you will find your deer first thing!

You are the SST god I guess, do you work for the company that makes these?  Sounds like exaggerated advertising to me?  Come on out and I'll show you where the buck was standing and where he died.... 

So, how many deer have you shot?  You know nothing about me, probably can't even figure out how old I am on my profile.  I'd be willing to bet some money that I've shot more deer than you have in the past 6 years.  I'm 9 for six years in WA, how about you??

What part of bumping him into a huge NON-ACCESSIBLE area didn't you get?

Don't overlook the crows when you look for it--if you see them sitting in a tree and then dropping down or hear a lot of squaking--sometimes they will help you out.  Good luck.

Would love to see some pics and a story once you find him.  Good luck out there.


Just listen to your dad and respect his decision. That's way more important in than the advise from strangers on the internet.  ...Just realized what an oximoron that was. Forget it. Good luck finding your deer.

Just stating a fact.  I don't appreciate a guy telling me that I don't know what I'm talking about, when it seems that he is the one that truly doesn't have a clue. I have spent a lot of time in the woods in this state as well as many other states, so I do know what I am talking about.   

Sure a deer can get double lunged and go 123 yards.  I would bet that there are 10 deer that are double lunged that go less than 30 yards for every double lunged deer that goes 123 yards.  If he would have actually taken the time to comprehend my post, he would understand that I was suggesting that a SST at 65 yards = dead dear!
