This would have been better if he would follow up and put the poor deer out of misery. There would be a lot of suffering the animal didn't have to endure. I recently made my first bowkill...it was not ideal but at least I followed up ASAP to relieve the animal. This video should be required viewing for new bow hunters as an example of when to keep shooting.

i never looked at the comments...his description is interesting. "Advisory: Video graphically shows a mule deer paralyzed when shot in the back. He was killed off camera moments after the shot. Hunting is the deliberate "harvesting" of wildlife which this video intimately and graphically depicts, often unseen in the field, rarely filmed, and from which hunters are largely disconnected from. My intention as a freshman bow-hunter was the humane killing of this beautiful sentient animal, and while the difficult and imperfect shot was grossly celebrated, this is a responsibility I do not take for granted. I am sharing this as an educational experience that impacted me and in no way as a celebration or advertisement of the inevitable brutality that accompanies bow hunting but as an obtrusive illustration. If enough informed senior hunters feel this to be an impressionable video that will contribute to a negative misunderstanding of the sport, message me and I will remove it for the sake of the hunting community."

Are you kidding me i love watching filmed hunts. You find it unpleasant to watch??? I found this unpleasant to watch due to the utards gettin all yeehawww hootin an hollerin over a small two point. Not cause a deer died that's what you get when you watch hunting films. If they never showed kill shots i probably wouldnt watch that's the exciteing part. I've wrote this guy on you tube and i suggest you all do the same and if you dont like watching deer die close your eyes at the cool part if that helps
