    I have never seen a deer flicker his tail like that after being hit and not die. I believe he is dead.

      They have 2 different videos of the buck weeks later, broken front leg, still wagging his tail. It's a common thing deer do even when they're not injured or distressed.

    Same thing happened to me 11/5…. Thought the shot was perfect, buck went down immediately. In 10 seconds got up and ran off. Good blood for 150yds then it disappeared. Grid searched next property and the one past that. Nothing…. It’s the perils of archery hunting and the only positive I can take from it is that the negatives make the successes even sweeter… I have a large appreciation for how difficult archery hunting is. Chin up and keep huntin!

    My first buck was a 42 yd shot that I had a gap of 6 inches between to trees. But that year 1985 when I was the Missouri State Champion (Fingers) I knew I could make that shot. It was a jungle... And I'm still bowhunting at 76 year old today... It never gets OLD...

    Deer are way tougher than most people think. We had a huge trophy 180 points plus guided hunt, stalked within 80 yards. Shooter took the shot from a rest with a 300 short mag. He shot it straight on, not waiting for it to turn broadside. That buck went down crashing and thrashing in the alders and went silent. After giving it a half hour they walked up and poked it. It jumped up and took off. We followed that buck for 3 days bumping it up from where it beaded with lots of blood. We finally had to give up the search and did find it at the edge of the lake weeks later. The moral is don’t give up the search, or at least use a tracking dog.

    I feel for you dude. Last year I shot the biggest buck of my life and thought it was going to die right away but after 24 hours and lots of help from some great people the buck survived. I've played the entire scenario out in my head a million times but in the end, it's hunting not killing. The good news is the buck was back on his scraps several weeks later.

    I shot a huge doe last season. Smoked her through one lung from above. When I was gutting her. The opposite lung was collapsed and shrapnel shriveled. She has a g5 montec floating around in her chest cavity. My friend was a witness. They are very tough animals!

    I did the same thing awhile back. Heard the telltale smack of the arrow, buck bolted off. Looked for an hour - no blood and called in reinforcements to search. Found arrow with broken off broadhead, some hair, little blood and missing knock. Searched a solid day and then following 3 days. Never found him. It happens.

  • @johnmcquinn180

    Just to add a "same thing happened to me". Good blood for 120 yards, red blood not lung blood. Shot looked beautiful. Must have hit the Humerus bone. Couldn't find it with dogs. Buck was a monster. All the ones that get away are.

    This same exact thing happened to me on 11/3. Thought the shot was perfect, loud thwack and mule kick. Found my broken arrow with about 10” missing from it with some blood and hair. Had little to no blood at times when we tracked him. Ended finding first bed with only droplets of blood in it. My hope is it was not lethal or he was shot the following morning during rifle opener. Best of luck the rest of the season.

    • @joecuillo5005

  • @jaybeliever1479
    @jaybeliever1479 9 месяцев назад

    Reminds me of a nice 8-pointer I shot many years ago. Same sound, and as the deer ran away from me, the end of the arrow was actually bouncing on the ground. Never found any blood, nor the arrow. I figured it was a hit right in the socket of the shoulder. Your deer was obviously limping and carrying his left front foot in that footage. It happens.

  • @schl8675
    @schl8675 11 месяцев назад +2

    It looked like a really good shot at first, but the footage after the shot and the limp makes it look like a leg bone shot. I slowed down the video to .25 speed and it sure looks like it hit in front of the shoulder and low. If you slow the video down and enlarge it, it shows either a very front shoulder or leg bone hit, I believe that deer is still alive.

    Sorry you didn't find the buck but he may make it through another season. Sure wish there were some tracking dogs that could have helped you retrieve the injured buck. Thanks much for taking us along during the entire hunt. Hey, I meant to ask. What part of PA are you hunting? I was born and raised in Franklin County and hunted as a kid before I went into the Marine Corps. I hunted mostly military installations for decades before converting to archery hunting. Once I started archery hunting, I never gun hunted for deer again. The only time I gun hunted was during rabbit, squirrel, (small game) season. Enjoyed a full-watch of your hunt. Take it easy and be safe out there. 👍🏽🤠 09/14/24

    The first deer I ever shot I saw my arrow move through the woods with a lighted end and it fell out. I saw her lay down and I waited a long time, more than a half an hour and went expecting her to be long gone dead. She stood up like nothing was wrong and walked into the neighbors yard with a limp one one front leg. There was not a drop of blood anywhere in the bed she had been in. It had snowed so i just let her walk with no chase as I had no right to shoot in that yard and it was after dark. I could follow tracks in the snow past the yard by driving around and picking up where i saw her go. Waited a long while more and went back out with a light and easily followed her trail a long way. No blood, steady stride (besides the one google drag here and there). Finally I stopped. I don’t know how long i went but I believe that deer is alive and I hit her bone somewhere they did not shatter for some reason. I found my arrow and it looked like yours, like I’d hit concrete. But was only sticky and damp with fur the top third. Not much on any blood in it. I know many will say I let a dead deer walk but if the coyotes don’t catch her, I think she lived. I’ve never tried to take a heart shot again. More successful after that lesson. Especially if they dip to run, it’s to risky to hit that hard bone.

    • @BG-bx4ey
      @BG-bx4ey Месяц назад

      That's great, but the range doesn't matter if you hit the leg bone, and they move down and back when they jump, so there is no way to accurately predict a perfect placement unless you shoot something faster than the speed of sound.

    No way tht BUCK is alive walking around the woods with a little limp. Tht Deer is dead somewhere within 1/4 mile of last sight. 1/2 mile at very very most. I would be shocked if really made it to the 220 yard mark. Almost every deer I shot with a fatal shot did same waggy flappy tail. Don’t take my word as Bible but I would be walking in to hunt in direction of its travel. Looking in the sky for scavengers try get a free meal.

      If you slow the video down it looks like he hit it in the leg, if it would have been hit in the vitals they would have found it, look at the shot it either hit the leg or the heart, a deer is not going a 1/4 mile with a hole in its heart, besides a heart shot would have produced blood. the only way that deer dies from that shot is if dies from infection.

    These comments embarass me as an outdoorsman. So many inexperienced and/or dishonest people lying to themselves speaking in absolutes on a topic whose only absolute is occasional, unavoidable, certain heartbreak.
    32 yards, broadside, stopped in a perfect shot window. The shot, itself, even looked great. But, none of that overcomes the fact that shit happens. That's really why we do this. If we wanted to do something pointless, we'd play golf and just pull out the foot wedge and take a mulligan when times get tough.
    In some states, studies have shown a near 50% recovery rate on archery shots. So, for every 1,000,000 people who have taken 20 shots and claim to have never missed a recovery, no more than 1 in that million is being honest.

      Not lack of experience, but instead cold muscles due to 15 degree weather.
