Had a great weekend archery hunting with my dad. We saw some nice bucks, but nothing exceptional. It was still fun to get out and put some miles on the boots. We had some awesome hunts and did some practice sneaks on borderline bucks. It is fun to say "i coulda killed ya

Here is a pic I snapped on one bachelor group I followed around. The biggest buck is around 24" or so but his forks are small. Still fun to watch! I was 15 yards from a 150"ish 4x4 at this time last night - Gotta love this stuff!

NO, the eyeball! Aim small, miss small

I must say that is a cool looking kill shot but not sure about the ethics behind the shot, that could have easily wounded that deer and ended up suffering for a long time, I don't think head shots belong in archery,

Oh, he wasn't aiming for the head. I think it was a combo of a STIFF wind and steep downhill angle. It was a "miss" that worked out. No-one is advocating head shots. (How did I know I would be having this conversation?)

Well congrats to the hunter on a nice buck jj, pretty lucky shot.

stickhunter · « **Reply #13 on:** September 07, 2009, 10:04:34 PM »

I know things happen while hunting, just glad to hear that it wasnt what he was aiming for, must say I have never seen that before once in life time shot right there.

Don't mean to flame JJ. I saw two different deer with arrows sticking out of bucks heads this year alive and it left a sour taste in my mouth so to speak. I can imagine what it does to the non hunting population. This one ended cool, but could have seriously ended bad. A hair lower and the deer would have been blinded and still alive. A hair higher and he would have an arrow sticking out of his head for the rest of his life. There are a lot of young bucks on this site and I didn't want them to think this was the cool thing to do. Not harshing on you AT ALL.

I myself wouldn't be proud of it.This is not the type of shooting we want passed on to the younger generation of hunters. Wouldn't hurt my feelings to see the picture removed.

jjhunter · « **Reply #16 on:** September 08, 2009, 06:59:26 AM »

I hear you Bone......I am pretty sensitive when it comes to archery shots myself. I would never take a neck shot, let alone a head shot. I won't even take a quartering shot. Just thought this was pretty crazy.........

rosscrazyelk · « **Reply #17 on:** September 08, 2009, 05:47:11 PM »

That is a crazy shot.. Glad it turned out well

bowhunterforever · « **Reply #18 on:** September 09, 2009, 10:02:39 PM »

That kill shot is awsome!

He may want to adjust his sights on the bow. I guess it did the job. My buddy shot his elk 2 years ago during rifle season and found a broadhead lodged in the elks snout. The broadhead had stopped just below its tear duct.

STUPID SHOT

Thats the person who gives hunters a bad name, I dont care who u are or how good you can shoot, u can hit a dime at 50 yards etc. The deers head is moving always and is one of the first things to move when alerted or fleeing the sound of the string along would move the head, I dont care if it was 10 yards still could move,if that arrow is 1" off that deer is running around with a arrow in its head, sorry for the rant but that is BS or just a horrible shot and ended up with a dead deer

I'd remove the photo...please.

The RIGHTEOUS have spoken.

Kinda reminds me of always getting in trouble during "show and tell" in grade school.

I agree. There are enough people out there trying to give hunters a bad name. A deer runnng around with an arrow sticking out of it's head is just another reason.
