Nice buck

Good job

Public land or Georgia make you wear orange any time gun season is open regardless?

Nice buck. Im jealous cause I aint even seen a deer yet!

Georgia requires orange during muzzleloader and modern firearms season, regardless if you're bowhunting.
This buck was kilt on my lease.

Well done!

What type of broadhead?

Wasp Jak-Hammer 100 grain

1.75" cut.

Been using these for about 10 or 12 years now. Will never change. I bought up a good supply and a supply of replacement blades.

The blood trails are fantastic.

So True
Nice Buck

Does this look like a gut shot? That's the entrance. Exit was in same location just a couple inches lower. She was nearly square broadside.

24 yd shot. Minimal blood on arrow. No blood that my old eyes could see for first 15 yds. Then a good blood trail. I started the trail too early....only waited about 15 minutes. She was still alive but was only a minute or two from expiring. She went about 60 yds from arrow impact location.

All I can figure is the arrow must have passed thru her lower esophagus that was full of regurgitated cud. The exit was plugged with chewed cud/gut content.

Ive killed many deer with an arrow, but never hit one near perfectly and had gut content in the wound. I didn't open the abdomen so I dont know for sure what happened.

…. Shot one behind the shoulder one time … it went to bawling and blowing out cud everywhere… ended up dying under my tree

… if it had broke for cover a man would swear it was gut shot judging from the trail

Ive killed well over 100 whitetails and never had this happen. But I know she had just got up from her bed as I first seen her at 5:25pm and shot her at 6:05pm. An hour and a half before dark.

She was 1.5 years old and weighed 70lbs live weight. Typical weight for 1.5 year old doe down here.. She was healthy and had good kidney fat.

My brother bow killed one when we were kids. Arrow was covered with gut, and smelled like it. Waited until morning to track it, and it only went 30 yards and was hit well. It had a ruptured diaphragm, and a portion of stomach had made its way up between the lungs.

It didn’t ask that particular deer I shot it’s birthday… but it did spray gut matter all over the place while bawling like a branded calf lol

She was a little spooky. She seen me in the tree even though I was 25 feet up in a Climber. She caught my movement, but I froze as she stared, stomped, head bobbed, tried to fake me out by looking away and quickly looking back. Even at 24 yds she lunged forward as the arrow hit her. Maybe the front chamber of her stomach surged forward enough up into the diaphragm to puncture it.

I knew someone on Tman had seen this/done this b4.

Lol....I keep records of all the deer killed on my lease. Age, weight, physical condition, etc. Just looking for trends in the info. Have for 25 years. This tender pile of meat was #79 killed on 400 acres in 25 years.

…. Shot a spike one time at dark centering up the sight housing… went back to the truck and drank one … went back to the scene of the crime and found gut matter at the edge of the woods… eased in a little and seen it… double lung .. only went 20 yards

… also have seen great blood a time or two only to track forever and find them … only took a couple times for me to learn quartering forward is a bad idea with an arrow
