Aaron I kinda feel your pain. I shot mine in the neck because I flinched and pulled my shot. Luckily I hit his spine and dropped him in his tracks. I'll have pics up tomorrow of our hunt

Bow nut was hunting one of my stands when he took that picture. The hill is so steep that the stand is 50 feet up in the tree and has a leval 20 yard shot to the spring.
Nut says that the deer have started watering down the hill from the spring, thus the birds eye picture.
Time to move the stand to a different tree. Which is fine by me the spring it's self is right on the edge of a forrest circus hiking trail. But I have never seen another person up there. later Treetop

Hiker,

I've never tried a shot like that and I was wondering what pin to use myself. After awhile it came to me to just drop the arrow and it would have plenty of time to get the speed it needed to get the penatration that I wanted.

Bow nut, LOL!

At that height that arrow might make it to 300 fps before it hit the deer.

Muley madness,
it was a down hill shot and i had to guess on the pin because i dont have a 20 yard pin! just 30 40 and 50!!! Plus the buck was running away so i just took a guessing quick shot and i hit him in the head!!! But its ok i still have 3 weeks of the bow hunt and also i have the rifle hunt too!!!

Aaron, Tred had a show on TV the other week and he was taking shots like that @ caribou.

I hope the rest of your season goes good for you. Have fun and be safe.

Holy crap Aaron, You picked the right site to make a comment like that. People around here are very forgiving. Just for fun, make that same comment about hitting a running buck in the head and then loosing it on the UDWR site and see what kind off comments you get.
