I BLEW IT TONIGHT

I was hunting washington county got to my spot about 4:20 set the decoy up and made two mock scrapes.I started to rattle an grunt around 5:00 a scrub six point showed up he stared at the decoy for a minute then he ran off.I sat there it was about 6:30 or 6:40 i caught movement in front of me looked like a good buck.So i stood up to get ready for him he came in to 23 yards and stared at my decoy i didn't think i was going to get a shot light was fading fast.Then he decide to turn a drew the bow left the arrow fly an the shot it hit right under him.That sucked all the time i put in an finally got a chance to kill a P&Y then you miss i'm sick right now.I don't even remember aiming i just plain out took buck fever has this ever happen to anyone else?

I only take head shots on doe with a high power rifle not a bow.I don't where i was aiming to nervous an had all the time in the world he was looking back in the thicket when he turned had no clue i was there.

23 yard show low?

Better get practicing.

Head shots are non ethical in any situation, only morons try them.

Chicken    WHY would you let a arrow fly if you have no idea where you were aiming????????? I'm sure every archer has miss A shot but not from not knowing where they have aimed.  I'm not trying to ba a smart arse but next time you get a GOOD  BROADSIDE shot  don't look at the rack!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well after you see it is a LEGAL BUCK.  Pick a spot on the deer that is ethical  and don't take you eye off of that spot take a deep breath relax and release or squeeze the release arrow and don't take your pin off  target untill arrow hits spot.target,deer.  Another thing is that being in a tree stand can make a differance. You need to bend at the hips and NOT DROP ARM TO THE TARGET this will make your shot hit low.  For myself i have done that before dropping the arm to the target and hit low and to the right  one good thing was that it was a clean miss. hope that helps ya

Believe what you want gobydickk.I know what i saw believe me or not i really don't give a f***.This a board to post comments i never ask for your two cents.I like your story about the noises you heard did anyone say you were a liar or a fake?I can't stand you ****hole.

one more thing chicken never even said he aimed at the bucks head

im sure he saw it had 4 points and i'm pretty sure he aimed in the kill Zone and it happened so fast and was so excited don't remember doing it?   and how is shooting something in the head not ethical? let me make this really simple for some of you if someone was going to shoot you and asked were do you want it how many of you are going to say shoot me in the chest and let me run around for 15 min suffering?

goby ur the dumbass that keeps bringing it up like on this forum no one said nething till you started and i did aim at the head and like i said before i probly wouldn't do it again i was frusterated with how i made a perfect shot and the arrow only went in a inch and i'm not explaining this again if you can't comprehen this you probly should go see a doctor

I am getting all mixed up between Sugarfuzz12 and Chicken27, didn't mean to do that except they have the same typing style and some illogical ideas on hunting.
 
 Seriously, with all the questions about average hunting stuff you guys seem like you are 15 years old. If you are that's ok, just don't act like you are competition shooters with all this knowledge because you aren't. And if you were why all the simple questions that you should already know?
 
Oh, the name calling tends to back up my theory on you two(or one).
 
Am I right Silverkype?   lEt Me nO/ OKk?

goby i am a competition shooter and your right it is a bad choice to shoot one in the head.but i do have a question though bing said if you shoot one in the head the meat is no good bc it does not bleed out is that really true i mean it does make sence same as cutting the gills on a fish i guess but i never thought of it like that and it is starting to make me think that it would hold blood in the meat

Grimmreaper, sorry I can't help you I have never seen anyone kill a deer with a head shot nor talked to a butcher about it. Never crossed my mind so I can't comment, maybe someone else will have some info.
 
Chicken, I'm good thanks. Average questions-the moon, shot placement, and a couple others I don't care to look up. You can go to that area anytime you want it is described very well in my other post, I'm sure that would be worth a trip for you(it is not posted and a lot of land to hunt; might not want to bring baseball bats,maybe a weapon?). 
 
I don't have any clue what happened in your spring gobbler hunt or critisicms from it and don't hunt turkeys. Glad you could bring your daughter into hunting, we need more people. Free country ask any question you want, just might not get the answer your looking for. One of you guys are a competition archer as was posted(I got mixed up), but no competition archer would delibrately shoot a deer in the head.
 
The daddy comment is funny. Who's yo daddy?!
 
 

i shot one right behind the ear like 20 mins ago on the computer lol...

no i don't shoot competition i did shoot in an animal league a couple years ago i havn't been able to do it the last couple of years because of how much time collage demanded but now that i graduated il probly get back into it  grimreaper shoots competition and hes prettygood i shoot and hunt with him chicken is it hard to learn to use turkey calls whats the easiest i would like to get into turkey hunting but i sounded like i dieing goose with a mouth call

If you hit a deer in the heart or lungs, 15 second is more like it....not 15 minutes.
 
There is a very small area in the head you have to hit in order to kill a deer. Miss that spot by little more than an inch, and you just blew its jaw off, leaving the deer to suffer for days before starving to death. How's that for ethical?
 
If you aim just behind the front shoulder, you have a few inches in all directions that still allow for a quick kill.
 
 

No. You see Peacy(and I will call you that from now on "sugarfuzz"), you are a scumbag no good welfare user that doesn't want to get a job.
