Go ahead and look in the morning, and I hope the antlers are still good, because thats the only thing that will be..Make sure you get a nice warm showerand a good nights sleep :tup: and a real hardy breakfast before you go looking..Damn I just love the infuance these hunting shows have :tup:

Post by: cem3434 on November 17, 2012, 07:48:59 PM
It is quite possible the hunter is a young lady. Female for sure so back off a little!
Who cares if the hunter is male or female. Don't take a shot you cant make. I cant stand people that dont know their limits in the woods and then never find the animal they made a poor shot on. I am guessing that she wont find the deer tomorrow or any sign of a wounded deer because the rain will wash everything clean tonight. I guess she should just chalk it up to a good ol' fashion miss!
The bottomline is a hunter should know their limits and not take a shot that they are unsure of.

It just sounds weird to me if it looked like you made a good shot why wouldn't you at least go look for blood... Just sounds like a weird story to me and doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I realize giving an animal some time is needed sometimes but you seem confident in your shot...
SST at 65 yards? The deer shouldnt have went more than 30 yards if you made a good shot. Good luck and I hope you find him in the morning.

The antlers will taste fine, as will the meat! It was raining hard enough at the time that there would be no blood trail within ten minutes anyways, I would assume you would wait at least ten minutes to look....? If the buck was hit, he's in a 2-3 acre woods where they have permission to go. If pushed, he could run into a 20 acre wooded area where there is no access, even for a wounded animal.
As far as it looking like this...
This is the real hunting world! Not tv!!!!!!! If it was hit good then go get it! If you don't this is what it could look like in the morning!
You obviously know nothing about where this young lady is hunting. Unless a batalion of raccoons and mink descend on it in the dark, it will be just fine in the morning as there are no bears, coyotes, wolves or cougar here.
The gun/scope is plenty accurate, the shooter was steady and on sticks. If she hit where she thinks she did, he'll be there in the morning. If it was a bit back, then... he'll be there in the morning.
So, unless you have something encouraging or constructive to add, STFU. Thanks to those supporting this young hunter.
I shot a buck 3 years ago, same gun, same bullets, double lunged and that deer ran 123 yards, paced off, so not sure you know what you are talking about.It just sounds weird to me if it looked like you made a good shot why wouldn't you at least go look for blood...

my shot on my buck this year was less than perfect unfortunately, and if i didnt go out at night to track him i doubt i ever would have found him. head lamp, get on the trail, if hes dying slow and you bump him then back off until morning, but at least take a look tonight and get an idea what happened?
:yeah: Get out their, and bump him into someone's yard or further from where she shot :tup: :rolleyes:

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! :tup:

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.

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??

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!

Not quite sure I see where that was said, I indicated that they can indeed run farther than 30 yards with a well placed double lung SST. It wasn't until later when you challenged my personal score card that I stepped it up. BTW, you still haven't said how many you have gotten in the last six years.... Girl scouts and tree huggers "spend a lot of time in the woods" as well but it doesn't mean they know it all or much for that matter. :dunno: :chuckle:

Needless to say, even a perfect double lung shot means nothing sometimes. I am all for waiting til the next morning if you don't know. Why push a deer in the dark, especially this time of year where it is plenty cool enough to not damage the meat.

Post by: lokidog on November 17, 2012, 10:09:26 PM
Just a thought. My wife shot her first deer with a .243 using Remington Core lock ammo (I think 100 grain). It was broad side at 70 yards and she hammered it behind the shoulders a little high. I had the bino's on it and saw the tuft of hair on impact. It buckled and then walked off. We were in Eastern Washington in the wide open, so we climbed a small rock bluff and watched the deer just walk away. I figured 50 yards and it was dead. Well at 200 yards I told her to shoot it again. Needless to say she was pretty flustered and missed. I watched that deer walk till I couldn't see it anymore. I ranged the rock it walked behind and it was just shy of 500 yards. After we got assistance I marked that rock and walked over to and we found the deer dead 50 yards beyond it. I guess 550-600 yards that deer walked with a double lung shot that was just above the halfway mark on the body. Gutting it confirmed the shot placement. It also confirmed the bullet did not expand properly as the exit wound was smaller than it should have been.

My very first deer that I shot was on a doe with 180 grain core-lokts 30-06. I shot it, and it put out both its front legs, and that tough sucker ran 50-60 yards with NO front legs (it ran with its head, neck, and chest in the dirt) :yike: When I gutted it, the heart was totally wasted.

1. You were not there and don't know all the circumstances: Post your opinion, but remember unless you are / were there your opinion is based off your experiences and not others. Just because you experienced something at some point in your life doesn't make it right for every circumstance that other face. Like I tell the people I work with and train, "there is 1000 ways to skin a cat; and 999 of them are correct ways."
2. I've been teaching my 5 year old daughter this one. The GOLDEN RULE; if you don't want to be treated or talked to a certain way, then don't do it to others. I notice a lot of you want to dish out the criticism, but when someone else criticized you you get offended. Guess what....the is the GOLDEN RULE and KARMA at work.
Please be nice or for heavens sake, don't post at all.
Sorry for the rant, but I like others have noticed this site going down hill lately.

I am not sure anyone intended to ruin anyone hunting experience, especially a young hunter. I do however believe that this sight has gotten a little out of control with such strong personalities and just down right rude comments. If you want to state your opinion take a step back and think about HOW you are stating that opinion before you hit POST. You can just about say anything and if constructively written not have be offensive.

I agree with you and that is the very reason I decided to quit posting or debating this topic with other members. I truly hope the young lady was able to find her buck this morning because I think losing an animal would be more devastating to young hunter.

I am a new member and posted a story with pictures., everything went good with my hunt so I didn't receive any negative feed back. After reading this and many other posts I am not sure I want to be a member of this site. I guess nobody else has ever had less than perfect hunting experience.:yeah:

this person needs to remember how many perfect people are on here and never make a bad shot....every deer they have ever shot falls in its tracks because they are perfect ok! next time you go hunting you need to take lessons on how to be perfect from some of the perfect people on here
Wouldn't matter anyway, even if it was the perfect shot and died right there. Half of them would snivel about the bullet and what he was wearing. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

So for those of you that were supportive, thank you, for some others, whatever, and for those that might be pursuaded not to post something that is not perfect or a question they have that might make them look bad, please don't give up on this site as there are a lot of good people here that are willing to offer constructive and helpful advice.
Any other details on this will be left to the young hunter to add.

Have they shot the gun since to see if it's even close? 65yards with a rest and a clean miss. :dunno:
The gun was shot on Friday and the two shots were w/in an inch and a half on either side of the bullseye at 50 yards, so should have been on. :dunno:

So, we found no deer. :( Four of us grid searched the area for quite a while. The hunter's dad felt like it did not act like it was hit so decided to wait in case it was a bad hit. Possibly the hunter pulled the shot in her excitement. She feels bad about having maybe wounded and not recovered it and will probably use this experience as a learning one.no blood :dunno:

Clean miss. I have missed plenty of animals, hence my name. Good lessons learned on every animal.
