Kind of hurts me looking at it!
For the arrow to pass thru the entire body?..... (yes it was a fluke) But I'll bet not a deer in this world would survive what I saw last night...Low percentage shot….
Got a Great call yesterday! Shooter did a 10 foot radius around where the deer was standing seen no blood and went to the house. No blood at all and it rained quite a bit the track was very very slow but max finally figured it out. Deer went 70 yds.
I found out it was the boy's second deer and nobody really showed him before. (Plus there was signs he's had it rough...)
I tracked, gutted and put it on my deer cart. They were gonna take it to a different house on top of the one Kid's Moms car! So I left it in my truck and took it to the next town over about 9 miles... To keep those 3 from getting their ass beat clear off.... Very grateful young man and definitely deserved it all.

Just got back from Zanesville Tri-County Wildlife Area. Qtr-to shot in front of shoulder. Maxx was a maniac tonight...never let up for a minute. Showed us blood many times in a mile. At 1.25 mile, I ran out of permission. On the other side of the field Maxx wanted to go across was our trucks and the woods the deer originally came out of before dark.
I believe arrow was not angled enough to get the lung or liver. They were quite impressed with Maxx. Said they hired a dog in Vermont that couldn't hold a candle to what my dog did tonight.
I guess success doesn't always come with a kill.
Gooo Boy Maxx!

Today: "I got good blood, I'm a little high but still in the money" I explained it as border-line "No-mans land" 50/50 @ best! Maxx hits it for 800 yds twice to the same spot. I tell the hunter the deer is definitely still alive but that's the way he went. Hunter does not believe me because the deer has to be down! He calls his friend to help track and his friend says so you're the one that shot the tall 8 pt? It went by my stand last night right behind the shoulder had a blood spot and he had a limp but other than that he seemed to be okay....
So the shooter went grid- searching for 3 hours. Moral of the story....he now thinks the deer might be alive! And Maxx thinks they should all practice!

Track #2 Today...
Shooter says I regret it, but took a very bad frontal shot. He has no blood but he knows he hit the deer and that we will find blood later. Maxx took the same trail 3 times and I told the guy the deer is alive I have no blood no nothing and we've already covered 350 or so yards. The guy tells me he definitely aimed very careful because he shot a 186 inch deer before! "Ohhh OK"
When we went back to the hit-site and went through the motions where he was where the deer was blah blah. I find there's quite a Birch branch in between where he was sitting on the bucket and the deer was standing. AND, he finally tells me the deer did duck quite a bit at the shot. And it had to be dead center of chest because lumi-nock and chest were lined up at one time.... OH OK... Deer is alive...
Maxx asked for a pistol for Christmas.

Track #3 for today...
Family was told I'm on my way to a track and if you can wait I will definitely be there but I cannot tell you when is that okay?
Yessir That's Fine!
Get done with the second track get halfway to the third track and find out they called another dog and never told me.
Santa Definitely Bringing You A Pistol Maxx....

Honestly I'm joking I've got to poke a little fun at this or I'm going to lose my mind...

I don’t blame you trying to make fun out of some shitty situations. I sure hope these dipshits are covering your gas money and maybe a little more when you have to tell them their deer is only in their wet dreams.

I have similar excuses trying to sell my FIL’s stuff on Marketplace. People are not responsible and totally suck. I can’t wait to go off grid and smash my cell phones and computers someday. They simply thrive on trying to nail me for best price and ghost me. Interesting concept.
Oh yea... here's another:
At 1 point my alumi-noc and his chest were lined up perfectly so I know I hit him dead center!

Back in the day, I had to take a bow hunter Ed course to be able to hunt the nwr’s. It’s not required anymore. I was hard trying to find a class.
Can’t say it was the fix all class for experienced hunters, but new hunters could learn. It all boils down to morals and ethics to try to make the best shot or pass on a marginal shot. Everyone’s moral compass if different.
