Dang he moves quick. That's about a 6" drop right there. WOW

On a completely calm deer to boot. imagine if he was already on alert. He must have been a nervous jumpy thing lol.

Man after seeing the shot footage I would almost think he has heard a bow go off before.

Amazing reflexes these animals have.

Congrats again to both of you. :smiley_coolpeace:

 

[jagermeister]

Wow... Looks to me like her aim couldn't have been any better. It amazes me how much that deer dropped at the shot. Any idea how many fps her arrows are flying out of that bow, Greg?

Cool reflex pics... That'll educate you.

Kinda makes you want to aim a little low, but then what if he doesnt make the move to bolt? Damned if ya do...

What I find so crazy is it isn't as if he was alert and on edge ready to peace. Dude was relaxed eating with head down and almost managed to duck out of it. Amazed by that.

A huge congrats to the Ms. Fluteman. Awesome job!

Awsome Job! Tell Kate I did the EXACT same thing with my first buck only I was in a ghillie suit (no blind) and he was that close. I had a crossbow and wasnt sure what happened. All i knew was i had to stop him "crawling" away down a sttep hill ...alone...sobbing my eyes out...fumbling with crossbow coking pulleys...cellphone not calling for help in the hills....sobbing at the poor guy. But I got it done and lesson learned about close shots and he is on the wall. GOOD JOB! Keep it up!

Wow did he drop quick....thats insane

 

[Fluteman]

Alright, Kate wanted me to get the video up quick, so I didn't get to throw in all the other clips. Kinda bummed cause I had a snippet of Godsmack's Time Bomb added to the video for the kill shot, but couldn't upload it due to copyright issues. Anyway, here it is. Nothing special, just short and sweet.
