Got a buck outside of Ellensburg today
He had a arrow in him
Just thought I’d try to let whoever know he did not go to waist

Kinda of a shot in the dark

Nice do you have any pics of the other arrow? Just curious what you found. Where was it shot in the body?

I’ve seen bucks with arrows before and wished I could get them. Glad you put him down

Is that a field tip? BastagesI think the blades are just missing from the broad head.

All there but one was pulled back

Is it a small game head? What's the "wires"?
Post by: Widgeondeke on October 03, 2021, 02:18:47 PM
Wires in tip and arrow is 2-piece for easy removal.
Glad you got the buck. IMO someone tried to use improper equipment for legal archery hunting

They were similar to these barbs just a little different
Tip wasn’t sharp at all

It wasn’t that point, just similar barbs
But the point wasn’t sharp. I pushed it on my finger to see if it was
I could have done a better job at looking at. Once deer was down I had one track mind to get the 3 mile walk and drive home out of the way. Made plans to bear hunt this evening but didn’t get chores done

The barbs I guess yes but 3 were forward, maybe bent after dislodged

i wonder if someone was using those as grouse arrows and accidently pulled that out of quiver and nocked it not realizing it.:yeah: Buck fever But not an excuse also this quote " Some bow hunters shouldn’t be bow hunters " Looks like # 5
Wonder where 1-4 went :bash: :bash: :yike: :dunno:

It kinda looks like someone was bow fishing, and tried to illegally take a buck with an unethical shot. *censored*! >:(Probably not bow fishing near Ellensburg…

Maybe the person figured 100 yards of braided fishing line was all they need to track the deer?
HAHA! :lol4:

Or keep it from running in the neighbors yard...
DEER ON! be a heck of a battle on a sturgeon rod
There was an internet cartoon some years ago where a guy explains that his wife had him switch from hunting, as it was inhumane, to fishing instead. He said he didn't really get that, but went along and switched from expensive hunting gear to expensive fishing gear and so on. In the end, he reels in a monster buck and then clubs the crap out of it. He said his wife was much happier that he had changed to fishing......

What kind of shape was the deer in? Was he getting around ok, acting normal, or sick looking/acting?
He seemed fine.
His wound was infected for sure
Most of the backstraps were not saveable
