Bad Hit Buck
I finally got around to getting the last of my Trail Cam Pics from this fall developed today. Here is a suprise that I got when I opened the pictures that I wanted to share with everyone.
This small buck with an arrow stuck in his side. It does not look like the arrow is in all that far. My nephew and I are the only ones that bow hunt this property (400+ acres) and neither of us shot this deer. We never did see this deer in bow or rifle season (or didnt find any arrows while hunting). I hope he was harvsted by someone on another property and didnt die a slow death from infection.

RE: Bad Hit Buck
Wow. I've spine-shot three bucks, including two that were straight down (under my tree) shots, and one that was just a poor shot. All three dropped on the spot with severed spinal cords.Kinda makes ya think twice about that straight-down shot.
I don't wanna turn this into a blade-count debate because this is obviously not optimal shot placement, but this is a case where more blades could have possibly brought this deer down. Of course, I don't know how many blades were in the broadhead in that deer, but the arrow obviously hit the spine. Four blades would have given a better chance to find the spinal cord.

i woun't be so quick to give up on this deer, my sister shot one a few years back that hade the arrow go through next to the spine and all the way through most of the shoulder and that doe was fine when she shot it. the buck may be fine and live to be ur next trophy, they are very strong like that
