    That deer was probably gut shot. Not your fault, Mike, that you didn't recover it. The problem is that some hunters just take (or make) bad shots. The only solution is that hunters become more proficient with their weapons and exercise discipline when making a decision to shoot or pass. Its a shame that it happens and I think your videos have revealed just how many times this happens. I've been hunting over 40 years and I've lost a few myself. Every success and failure has something to teach us if we are willing to listen. Thanks for the video, Mike.

      ​If people look @ where a hunter with a rifle shoots a deer they wouldn't think that the shot on that buck was a lethal hit. I am a lifetime bowhunter & only took one deer with a rifle over 30 years ago. The shot in Reality on that 🦌 was no different than a 7' Monitor Lizard biting a deer & waiting for days for it to get weak & then recovering it. I know of a guy who worked @ several Archery shops. An experienced hunter. There's a very large military place that's in MN where u get drawn for like a 4 day hunt & the following weekend another group is let in. It's late pre-rut & many bucks r taken. This guy on the 2nd hunt shot a 10 point mature buck larger than that buck. He got antlers & that was it. Not an ounce of meat or a cape. The buck was hit too far back & was rotting away from the inside out. Only salvageable by a Monitor Lizard or a very hungry pack of yotes. The archery industry with all this sub-par hyped up use once & throw away equipment is to blame. 😮​@@theboomeroutdoorsman1379

    You just gave your own answer buddy whenever you went by there multiple times. I know you're busy in that, but it seems like your loads lightening up with all the other pilots. Maybe on your jobs in pacifically that you don't find them or you have that feeling and you're in that area. Throw the drone up real quick and give the person a look. You know it only grow your business and help you, but I appreciate how much you care. I've never had to use you guys yet for anything. I'm hoping I don't as much as I like watching everything and love it all, but I'd rather just have an easy track and find my buck or dough. But thanks for all the videos and love watching everything

    You guys need to come up with a second trip plan for a set price. The exact same thing happened to my wife this year. Unfortunately I wasn't the first one to find him 3 days after you guys found him barely still alive. His head was gone and we just found a body. The technology is absolutely amazing and central ohio has a couple amazing operators! Gotta love Wendall.

    My friends grandfather shot a buck in bow season a few years back and never found it. About a month later my friend shot that buck in gun season. When we gutted it we found that the broad head went through the bottom of one lung. No visible infection in the deer either.

  • @Kurtdog63
    @Kurtdog63 10 місяців тому +2

    Have seen liver shot deer searched for, waiting 8 hours after hit, get up and run off and not recovered. Lungs are fairly far forward and many can mistake a liver shot for a double lung hit, especially when the arrow hits at an angle and travels back away from the lungs. Liver hits can certainly be fatal, but as in this case, infection could have set up and killed the deer a few days later, or weakened it to the point predators killed it.

    I hit a buck in 2019 in the exact same spot except maybe an inch or 2 higher. Long story short, I got a picture of him 3 days later with a big hole where the entry was. A month later found my arrow almost a mile away while looking for someone else's buck. Then we found him dead in late Feb maybe 300 yards from the original hit. Carcass looked like he died in January

  • @petermartinko9186
    @petermartinko9186 10 місяців тому

    Are a lot of these guys using expandable broadheads ? The way a lot of them open does not give reliable penetration especially on slightly quartering shots because of the way the blades open . When you see the entry wound it looks like a well placed shot but it could have encountered a rib or the leg or shoulder and glanced off . ( If you watch enough “ bow kill videos” you will see arrows hit and turn to the left or right and then flopping around as deer runs off.)

    Judging by that walking buck with the wound I think that is behind the heart and very low on a lung. I hit a trophy Buck like that after a fresh snow. Gave him an hour. Jumped him out of a bed. Tracked him over two days and never even saw him again. When I did jump him I backed off for a couple hours. I had to give up at the end of day two when he went onto land I couldnt access.

    These videos proves what I've said for years about bow hunters. They wound alot of game that are wasted. Many bowhunters i know only shoot small game and predators noe due to never recovering injured animals. Most hunters are not skilled gun hunters forget about the skills required to be successful with a bow. Just my opinion after 45 years

    That shot is low and to far back. Really no vitals there. Also depends on what broad head u use. Always make sure that leg is forward when shooting also. That heart is basically right behind the shoulder.

    • @Lure-Benson
      @Lure-Benson 10 місяців тому

      The level of ignorance you have is stunning!
      That buck was gut shot, and you believe like 99% bow hunters if the deer or elk isn't found in 100 yards or not hit in the lungs or heart NO Problem the animal wasn't even hurt!
      As a professional hunting guide from 1978 working the Pacific NW to Alaska and an only income and been to Oregon ODF meetings to put a stop to the waste of game by Bow hunters I believe that all bow hunting need to me made Illegal in all of the US.
      In the study that Oregon - Washington - Idaho did on the recovery of Elk and deer shot by Bow hunters the deer was 75% of the deer aren't ever recovered and for Elk 85% of Elk aren't ever recovered.
      My self along with residence of an East Oregon region had been fed up with dead Elk like a graveyard during bow season, so we gather up photo evidence of dead and rotting Elk shot by Bow Hunters of 210 dead elk!
      At the next ODF meeting the evidence was shown of wasted Elk by Bow hunters and was proposed to shut down the bow season for ever in this unit.
      We didn't get exactly what we wanted but ODF did make the next year only 100 Bow hunting tags by a drawing system was issued for this unit.

  • @Huntoutdoors1
    @Huntoutdoors1 10 місяців тому +3

    This is long so if you don't wish to read and learn a very valuable thing about broadheads and thorax or chest shot deer then skip over it ..This could make all the difference in a recovery and a lost deer especially large boned bucks .
    After 45 years deer hunting as a bowhunter and hunting with and speaking with top end bowhunters over those year I can tell you all what is wrong with those well placed shots and the deer linger. Most of the time it is bad ,dull , poorly constructed or broken or flattened edge on contact broadhead blades . First new out of the package does not mean sharp .
    Biologically and mortality speaking a super sharp broadhead cause massive bleeding that does not clot well if at all . Dull heads push or tear through and that is easily cloted think of arteries and veins as having the flexibility ,constancy and ease of sideways movement as a large rubber band . That said eventually they will succumb to total Pneumothorax rather than actually bleed out .
    Also broken off arrows often caused by heavy bone contact that dulls blades or just deer movement break off then it clots and plugs up even faster . Most guys will argue how sharp their heads are but the truth is as I have shown many hunters this trick to educate and test broad heads . I just very close together lightly stretch a bunch rubber bands over a box and push the head through if every band that the head blades touches or is shoved through does not cut or break its too dull .. Often steel on any blades mechanical or fixed are simply not that sharp right out of the package some hunters actually shoot their heads into foam or even the ground and think its ok or good they may even attempt a half hearted sharpening on them that is awful for blade sharpness .
    This is the main problem - Every time you pull your arrow out of the quiver and replace it the head is dulled in the the process in all quivers they bump and are pushed against the holders or nest .Also finally blade edges can be badly flattened passing through or between rib bones or any bone especially scapula or twisted / broken .If you shoot a two blade head lets say and both blades contact the bone portion as it passes through hard ribs or shoulder they are likely dulled or damaged heading in . Then its a long death with slowed blood or suffocating over a few hours or even days rather than bleeding out over a few seconds or minutes as is normal with super sharp blades .Infection takes far longer than 3 or 4 days to kill a deer after a shot if it ever does .
    I have seen this with Mechanicals and all sorts of fixed heads . Its almost always because dull or damaged broadheads and if the deer lays up fast it tends to clot up quicker than if it moves longer or is left totally alone and beds. A double or single lung is almost always long term fatal it just may take a few days depending on hit and clotting or deer movement ,rather than a few minutes or hours as they slowly suffocate over time when they do move and the lung cavity opens up and they can not fill the lungs up over time .
    When that buck on yesterdays video stood up after laying up so long it likely opened up the lung cavity and that's all it took to suffocate him the rest of the way over a few minutes of no pressure to breath . Good luck believe what you all wish but its all science / biology at the end of the day and its not even mysterious .Some of its luck some of its dull heads /bad equipment after riding around in your quiver or even out of the package.

      @v71-v9n 10 місяців тому +3

      A lil below center of the front shoulder is the ideal shot. Shooting behind the shoulders is just a lung shot. If it sits at a slight angle maybe just one lung. A deer can live for years with one lung. If you hit a few inches back it is a gut shot. Which the may live or die from. But they can live for a few weeks and die from infection. Such as in the case in this video. Broadside through the shoulders is both lungs the heart and major arteries. It’s just more vitals in that area.

Rifle Still Hunt or Bow still Hunt, ya wont do that cause ya cant FILM and Make money off of u-tub,,,,,,,u-tub hunters are screwing up HUNTING.
