Why the little one?

[pup0025]

Sure looks like an arrow to me.  Why the fawn?  Hope she makes it but I have my doubts.

[vandeman17]

Wow. Poor thing!

[OutHouse]

Whoa that's too bad. I have been told that an elk would bite that and rip it out.

[Parasite]

Sometimes arrows hit something and ricochet and hit the wrong target. Deer are surprisingly tough. I'll bet it survives.

Why judge?

If it’s legal. I feel bad for the hunter. They are probably sick about not making a good shot

Kinda a weird picture,  I see no broadhead, no fletchings, and no blood stained bur where the black arrow looking object comes out.  I guess the end on that side could be broken and the hide cleaned up?

why judge?  That deer is tiny tiny tiny.  I get the sick feeling hunter.  And yes it is legal.

my scouting equipment is a little obselete.  I thought the same thing.  It doesn't look like it's moving to good in some other pictures I have.  The hide does have some dried up blood on it.  What we see is the entrance.  The arrow never passed through it just stuck it right there.  The deer has rubbed the nock and fletchings off except for about a half a fletching.

I'd love to know if that one makes it.  Sure looks like an arrow to me, but with no fletchings I'm thinking it's been there for a minute and the fletching's already rubbed off.  If that's the case, then the wound itself it probably already healed, and, well, it IS walking around getting it's picture taken, sooo....

Deer, like people, can survive some CRAZY stuff. 

Reminds me of the cow elk at Oak Creek feeding station with the broken hip (only walked on one hind leg).  I didn't see her last year, but apparently she had been in that condition for three years running.  I only went once so she certainly could have been there.

Looks pretty short...maybe a bolt from a crossbow...I guess whatever it is could be buried a few inches..

Maybe we should start judging whatever people shoot?

   If it's legal, it's probably in the best interest of all hunters for us to give the unknown hunter the benefit of the doubt.

[gutsnthegrass]

Sometimes, we are our own worst enemy.  I'm sure the hunter is sick about it.  I wish I was as perfect as alot of people on here.  Bad shots happen to the best of us.

Could have been string jump.......If you havent experienced it as a bowhunter, you havent done much........

Man I hate how true that is.  I had a high lung last year that made me sick.  3 hours of tracking the dang thing and I finally found it piled up.  That was 3 hours of telling myself how bad of a bowhunter I am, how I should just give it up, how terrible this is, etc.
