Author Topic: A tough spike buck (Read 4012 times)

I pulled my camera card today and noticed that this little spike has a spot on each side that looks like its been shot from an elevated position. I have pictures of him from earlier in the year and the spots weren't there. It looks like it might have been a high single lung shot. I'm guessing its from an arrow. It wasn't mine or anyone else hunting our property. He seems doing OK.

Yup, looks like a tree shot. Cross Bow??
On account of, it must have passed clear through.
Slick blade. Not much infection visable.
Not much wiggle room where it looks like a shaft
passed through, OUCH

Be careful, it is starting to seem like you know a little more
than you are letting on to.

Ohoooo no not me.

A thought--

It would be informative to know, maybe in
the future if you harvest this lucky rascal,
where exactly the path of the shaft was.

I know where all of my arrows went this year. None of them were at a spike. My dad and brother in law won't shoot them so I know it wasn't them. We got new neighbors this year. I'm pretty sure they are baiting with corn. If I had to guess I'd say it was from them.

I wouldn't look at it as a blame game.

If it was an arrow, the placement that
shows on the spike imo was pretty
forgivable. If the deed took place illeaglly,
that would be different.
If you harvest him as an 8 or better--WOW
What a memory.

Clint when he grows up and you get to shoot him at least he has a good aiming spot on him. 😆

Yea that's a tough one alright. He might even be a zombie that couldn't of missed by much angle was poor looks like quartering towards shooter. Still wouldn't think that one would still be walking around.

Not a great angle but it's still amazing that he survived.

I think you have a spot on the lens. I know anything can happen, but hard to believe a deer would survive that shot.

Could be on the lens? Any spots on other pictures at about that time?

Humm, The spot lines up vertically
but not horizontally??
